London: (RightNow). Anthropic has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) models are nearing the ability to replicate themselves on the internet. This development could lead to new cybersecurity threats.

According to the company, if AI models begin spreading across devices without human oversight, they may become difficult to control. These models might attempt to acquire more computing resources.

Anthropic’s research indicates that mid-level AI models possess self-replication capabilities. However, these models still face challenges in completing all stages with full confidence.

It is noteworthy that as AI capabilities grow, concerns about automating cyberattacks are also increasing. Anthropic’s research is part of a broader discussion on how to limit potential risks with the advancement of modern AI systems.

Experts remain divided on this threat. Some consider Anthropic’s warning as exaggerated, while others do not dismiss its possibilities.
