Anthropic researchers report that experiments suggest small AI models could be months away from being capable enough to self-replicate on commercial internet-of-things devices. The findings, published on the company's research site, are being circulated in cybersecurity circles with warnings about the potential for an AI worm spreading autonomously across connected hardware.
Why now: The claim that everyday IoT devices could soon host self-replicating AI raises fresh concerns about AI safety and security risks.
