AI in your oven? Anthropic warns models ‘months away’ from self-replication on smart devices

Summary

Anthropic warns that some of its AI models could soon become self-replicating and infiltrate internet-connected devices such as smart fridges and automatic vacuum cleaners. The company says such models could then run on those devices without datacenters, which it describes as a major loss of control of a runaway AI model.
