AI in your oven? Anthropic warns models ‘months away’ from self-replication on smart deviceshttps://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/oct/13/anthropic-ai-replicators-warning
Researchers say ‘AI worms’ could soon infiltrate internet-connected devices amid calls for increased guardrails Anthropic is warning that some of its artificial intelligence models could soon become “self-replicating” and find ways to infiltrate internet-connected devices, such as smart fridges and automatic vacuum cleaners. Once this happens, the company said, the models could power themselves within these devices without the need of datacenters. Such self-replication would represent a major loss of control of a runaway AI model. Continue reading...
