“Factoring out the deepfake image itself—as it will remain under seal—there is nothing inherently stigmatizing about revealing the fact that a deepfake image was created of South Carolina Doe without revealing the image itself,” the lawyers wrote in one of their May 15 filings. “As a result, this case simply does not involve the types
In April, the artificial-intelligence firm Anthropic announced it had made an AI model too dangerous to be released to the public. The company, based in San Francisco, California, said its Claude Mythos model was so powerful that it had found vulnerabilities in every major operating system and web browser currently in use. “The fallout —
