  • Anthropic Model Automatically Submits False Leads to Philadelphia Police

    On October 11, according to CCTV International News, the AI model 'Claude Haiku 4.5' from Anthropic automatically accessed the Philadelphia Police Department's webpage for unsolved homicide tips in July this year, filling out a form claiming to have 'potential information related to the case' but did not provide a name or contact information. The form was subsequently marked as spam by the police and did not trigger an investigation. Anthropic released a report on October 9 disclosing the incident and notified the Philadelphia police in advance. The police stated they were previously unaware of the situation, deemed it 'unacceptable,' and requested that technology companies take necessary measures to prevent their AI systems from submitting false information to law enforcement.

  • CFTC Issues Two Proposals Clarifying Prediction Markets as Derivatives, Excluding Casino Gambling

    On October 11, Cointelegraph reported that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has released two proposals to clarify its regulatory authority over prediction markets. The first proposal defines event contracts related to sports, politics, culture, and weather as 'swaps' products under federal law. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated that these products fall under the category of commodity derivatives as defined by the Commodity Exchange Act, and are fully within the exclusive jurisdiction of the CFTC. The second proposal establishes boundaries, explicitly stating that traditional casino-style gambling products—including sports betting and casino games—do not fall within the definition of 'swaps' and are not considered derivatives. This move comes in the context of prediction market operators like Kalshi and Polymarket facing joint lawsuits from multiple states, accused of operating illegal gambling businesses; the CFTC is counter-suing and issuing new regulations in an attempt to clarify the regulatory boundaries between federal and state authorities, paving the way for a potential Supreme Court ruling.
