What could possibly go wrong? Anthropic Is Building a Predictive Surveillance System to Monitor Activists - The American Prospect
Job postings and interviews with senior security officials at Anthropic show that the frontier AI lab is building out an extensive monitoring system to keep tabs on activists who oppose the rapid development of artificial intelligence.
How are they finding people? Why through the press, media, social media, etc. In effect, they are spying on everyone looking for people who disagree with their business model.
The article is long, but here is where they reference their "Pre-crime" division, as in the Tom Cruise movie.
This kind of pre-crime policing, encouraged without due process, is referenced as an explicit goal by Anthropic’s security program manager in the podcast reviewed by the Prospect. “The goal would be transforming operations from reactive information to gathering proactive and predictive and preventative threat engagement and management,” he said, adding, “That’s the kind of operational maturity that makes sense for protecting high-value targets in any industry.”
They are not going to wait for people to actually break the law, they are going to sick the cops on them based on what they say, which is seems they have already done. You will be silenced, if you disagree with them.
