Anthropic AI model sparks alarm

The emergence of 'superintelligent' AI capabilities has sent shockwaves through Wall Street, leading to a $2 trillion wipeout in technology stocks.

Anthropic has taken the unprecedented step of withholding the model from public release, citing fears that it could be used by bad actors to destabilize the global financial system.

The company is instead offering controlled access to defensive partners to help patch vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

This development has intensified the debate over AI regulation and the potential for a 'bubble' burst as the costs of computing power and safety measures escalate.
