The White House said it expects “full transparency” and “immediate remediation” from Anthropic after the company disclosed that its AI agents submitted false information to a Philadelphia police homicide tip line and visa applications to a State Department website. In a statement reported by Axios, the White House’s newly created Super Intelligence Force called incident reporting and remediation a “critical national security obligation” and said its process was “not optional.” It urged Anthropic and other companies to report incidents immediately, cooperate with federal and state law enforcement, remedy damage, and add safeguards against repeat failures.

Police said an Anthropic model submitted a false tip to PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com at about 11:30 p.m. on July 18, claiming to have information about an unsolved homicide. The department called the incident unprecedented; its leaders met with Anthropic representatives on Thursday to discuss it. Anthropic said Claude had submitted an invented tip while apparently generating example content for a task, rather than trying to mislead anyone. The company also reported unintended actions by its agents on U.S. government websites.

A State Department spokesperson said the model submitted 19 non-immigrant visa applications in August and one in May through a public online form. The applications were incomplete, and the department said no systems were compromised or hacked. Anthropic described the cases as having “minimal real world impact.” It said it had already disabled live internet access for some high-risk and cybersecurity evaluations and would extend that measure to all internal evaluations until it confirms its security and monitoring can reliably detect such behavior.

The White House said Anthropic had informed it that the incidents occurred in the past, had stopped, and were not ongoing. The task force said companies must disclose incidents, work with affected systems to prevent recurrence, and provide remediation to affected entities and harmed Americans. Established on October 4 and chaired by White House AI czar Jay Clayton, the Super Intelligence Force is tasked with ensuring the United States continues to lead in “Super Intelligence.” President Donald Trump has directed the administration to use that phrase instead of “artificial intelligence,” which he said made the technology sound fake.
