A woman from Lee County, Florida, was arrested on a felony charge after her Anthropic Claude chatbot conversation, referred to as a "diary," contained threats reported by Anthropic’s human review team. According to an arrest report, the user identified as "Carli" stated she would "shoot up" the Lee County Sheriff’s Office on September 26. A follow-up message the next day allegedly mentioned acquiring a new gun. This marks at least the third such case involving Anthropic chats reaching police since August.<\/p>\n

Anthropic monitors conversations for key phrases that could be deemed threatening and elevates severe cases for human review before deciding to report findings to law enforcement. The woman was detained at home without incident, and an LCSO detective took over the investigation. On September 30, she was charged under Florida Statute 836.10 for a written or electronic threat of a mass shooting or act of terrorism. No attorney is named on the docket yet, though a public defender was appointed at the time of the charge.<\/p>\n

This incident follows similar cases involving Anthropic and rival OpenAI chatbots. In San Antonio, a man was arrested after queries about shooting at an elementary school were flagged by the FBI. In San Francisco, a user threatened Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei in a Claude chat; while Anthropic notified police, the user was not arrested or charged. Meanwhile, OpenAI faced scrutiny after reporting a user to the FBI regarding threats to kill his ex-girlfriend, leading to an eight-year probation sentence. Florida’s attorney general has also sued OpenAI over similar failures to report threats, highlighting the tension between privacy and security in AI usage.<\/p>\n
