Anthropic reported diary entry to police, woman faces felony charge

Anthropic 将用户日记内容上报警方,涉事女子面临重罪指控

Another incident has taken place that illustrates the need to be careful what you tell AI. A Florida woman is facing felony charges after she used Claude as a diary and allegedly wrote that she planned to “shoot up” the Sheriff’s office. After a human reviewer examined the statements, they were reported to police.

又一起事件再次表明,在使用人工智能时必须谨慎对待所输入的内容。佛罗里达州一名女子因将 Claude 当作日记本,并在其中写下计划“袭击”治安官办公室的内容,目前正面临重罪指控。在人工审核员查看了这些言论后,相关信息被上报给了警方。

According to the arrest report, Carli Michelle Heller, of Bonita Springs, Florida, wrote on September 26 that she would attack the Sheriff’s office. She later said that she uses Anthropic’s chatbot like a “diary.” Claude’s safety systems flagged the entry and it was escalated to a human reviewer. After deciding it was a credible threat, the reviewer reported it to law enforcement.

根据逮捕报告,佛罗里达州博尼塔斯普林斯的 Carli Michelle Heller 于 9 月 26 日写道,她将袭击治安官办公室。她后来表示,她把 Anthropic 的聊天机器人当作“日记”使用。Claude 的安全系统标记了该条目,并将其升级给人工审核员处理。审核员在判定其为可信威胁后,将其报告给了执法部门。

The company says it may share user information in limited emergencies if it believes disclosure is necessary to prevent death or serious physical injury. Deputies identified Heller and visited her home. She was detained without incident before an LCSO intelligence detective took over the investigation.

该公司表示,在有限的紧急情况下,如果认为披露信息对于防止死亡或严重人身伤害是必要的,他们可能会共享用户信息。警员确认了 Heller 的身份并前往其住所。她在未发生冲突的情况下被拘留,随后由李县治安官办公室(LCSO)的情报侦探接手调查。

Heller faces a charge of making a written threat of violence under Florida law. Florida Statute 836.10 makes it a second-degree felony to send, post, or transmit a written or electronic record threatening to kill or injure someone, carry out a mass shooting, or commit an act of terrorism. The communication must be made in a manner in which another person may view it.

Heller 根据佛罗里达州法律面临“发出书面暴力威胁”的指控。根据佛罗里达州法规 836.10,发送、发布或传输威胁杀害或伤害他人、实施大规模枪击或进行恐怖主义行为的书面或电子记录,属于二级重罪。该通讯必须以他人可能看到的方式进行。

Anthropic isn’t going to be taking any chances when it comes to anything it deems a potential threat. Last month, it was reported that OpenAI and Sam Altman are being sued by British Columbia over claims that the company could have prevented a mass shooting in the Canadian province.

对于任何被视为潜在威胁的内容,Anthropic 绝不会掉以轻心。上个月有报道称,不列颠哥伦比亚省正在起诉 OpenAI 和 Sam Altman,理由是该公司本可以阻止该省发生的一起大规模枪击事件。

The shooter, eighteen-year-old former pupil Jesse Van Rootselaar, had previously been flagged by OpenAI’s safety team for her conversations about gun violence, but OpenAI never alerted police because the conversations did not meet the threshold for legal referral. In June, Florida also sued OpenAI and Altman, alleging that ChatGPT had contributed to real-world harms, including the 2025 Florida State University shooting.

枪手是 18 岁的前学生 Jesse Van Rootselaar,她此前曾因关于枪支暴力的对话被 OpenAI 的安全团队标记,但 OpenAI 并未报警,因为这些对话未达到法律移交的门槛。今年 6 月,佛罗里达州也起诉了 OpenAI 和 Altman,指控 ChatGPT 造成了现实世界的伤害,包括 2025 年佛罗里达州立大学的枪击事件。

The latest incident is another reminder to think before you enter something into a chatbot that could get you into trouble. It’s certainly not a private diary whose contents are for your eyes only.

最近的这起事件再次提醒人们,在向聊天机器人输入可能导致麻烦的内容之前,请三思而后行。它绝不是只有你自己能看到的私人日记。

Reports last month revealed that human contractors reviewing Microsoft Copilot’s image editor can see users’ prompts, uploaded photos and AI-generated edits. Documents show that some of those assignments contain sexual, disturbing or potentially illegal material, though the reviewers are not there to flag the content – only to assess whether the output is accurate.

上个月的报告显示,负责审核 Microsoft Copilot 图像编辑器的外包人员可以看到用户的提示词、上传的照片以及 AI 生成的编辑内容。文件显示,其中一些任务包含色情、令人不安或潜在的非法材料,尽管审核员的任务并非标记这些内容,而只是评估输出结果是否准确。
