- Anthropic discovered the error on Sept. 28 but did not notify the Philadelphia Police Department until Oct. 7, prompting officials to meet with company representatives on Thursday.
- Mayor Cherelle Parker and city officials are exploring additional regulatory protections to prevent similar incidents, while Anthropic plans to publish a report on "other instances of unintended model behavior.
