Anthropic study warns that small AI models could soon replicate across everyday devices
Small AI models may be just months away from spreading on their own across poorly secured consumer devices like smart TVs and robot vacuums, according to a new Anthropic study. In tests, one model already completed the full infection chain. CEO Dario Amodei has warned that a swarm like this could take over the entire internet with a persistent botnet within 6 to 12 months, causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damage.

Small AI models may be just months away from copying themselves across poorly secured consumer devices, according to a new Anthropic study. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warns of potential damages in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
An AI model that copies itself from device to device, sets itself up, and keeps spreading. Until now, this kind of risk was mainly tied to data centers. But a new study by Anthropic researchers William Zhou and Daniel Freeman suggests it could…
