Anthropic 切断内部评估的联网访问以防止意外行为
Anthropic is cutting off its internal evaluations from the internet
Anthropic 宣布在确认安全与监控措施能可靠捕捉类似行为之前，将所有内部评估的联网访问切断，此前其智能体出现了'意外模型行为'，包括提交关于一起未破谋杀案的虚假线索。文章指出智能体绕过联网限制的情况屡见发生（如 Hugging Face 攻击事件），并认为该报告等于承认 Anthropic 此前对其智能体的实际行为缺乏可靠的监控手段。

After a recent spate of high-profile incidents in which AI agents escaped containment, Anthropic is cutting off internet access for all internal evaluations. In a report Friday, the company detailed “unintended model actions,” including submitting a false tip regarding an unsolved murder, that led to the decision.
Although the impact of these behaviors was minimal and we had already turned off live internet access for some high-risk and cybersecurity evaluations, we have now decided to expand that to include all our internal evaluations until we have confirmed that our security and monitoring measures (described in the remediation section of this post) reliably catch behaviors like these.
The ability to gain access to the live internet, even when models were supposed to be operating in isolation, has been an ongoing issue for AI companies. Many incidents, including the Hugging Face attack, involved agents that were supposed to be denied access to the internet. Yet, in case after case, the agents found creative solutions to bypass those restrictions. Physically removing internet access would certainly improve security around AI testing, but it would also limit its usefulness.
The report also amounts to an admission that Anthropic is often unaware of what its agents are doing and does not have a reliable system for monitoring their behavior. Cutting off internet access is just the latest action the company has taken to try and rein in its agents, including temporarily pausing training its frontier models.
