Yemeni rebels used Anthropic's AI software to design and build guided weapons

• Anthropic has investigated and disrupted “threat actors” which used its AI software for military purposes, including in Houthi-held territory in Yemen.
• In the report Detecting and Countering Misuse of AI, the company described an ambitious weapons development effort in northern Yemen, where a group was working on three sophisticated missile projects simultaneously.
• Iran-backed Houthis use the capital Sanaa and northern Yemen, which they control, as a launch pad for attacks against neighbours.
