美国人工智慧公司 Anthropic 发布情报威胁报告指出，叶门北部的威胁行动者曾试图利用 Claude AI 模型代替软体工程师，开发弹道飞弹及导引火箭的导航、控制与定位软体。该行动者利用开源自动驾驶系统结合手机级飞行电脑，并透过分散对话阶段与隐匿真实意图来规避系统安全防护，虽多数请求被拦截，仍成功进行了导引火箭的试射，并在测试失败后返回询问原因。
与此同时，被美国列为恐怖组织的叶门胡塞武装组织在红海沿岸发动闪电攻势，夺取战略港口并向国际航运枢纽曼德海峡推进，不仅重燃延续十余年的叶门内战，也对沙乌地阿拉伯的能源基础设施加强攻击。曼德海峡的紧张局势进一步推升布兰特原油价格突破每桶105美元，并对沙乌地阿拉伯的石油出口造成沉重打击，同时也助长了伊朗推高全球能源价格以对抗美方的战略目标。
Anthropic 表示虽然没有直接证据显示该威胁组织已部署完全运行的实战装置，但其已掌握脱离云端独立运行的离线模拟工具包。为因应高阶 AI 技术遭滥用于武器开发的风险，Anthropic 已封禁相关涉案帐号，并将情报共享给公私部门伙伴以降低潜在国安威胁，该报告同时揭露曾有科学家企图利用该模型研究生物武器，突显出顶尖 AI 实验室防范未授权军事滥用的严峻挑战。
US AI company Anthropic revealed in a threat intelligence report that actors in northern Yemen attempted to use its Claude model instead of software engineers to develop guidance, navigation, and control software for ballistic missiles and guided rockets. The actors integrated open-source autopilot software onto smartphone-grade flight computers and bypassed safety filters by obfuscating their goals and splitting tasks across multiple sessions, eventually test-firing a guided rocket and consulting Claude again when the test failed.
Concurrently, the US-designated terrorist group Houthi militants launched an offensive along Yemen's Red Sea coast, seizing a strategic port and advancing toward the critical Bab al-Mandeb Strait. This campaign reignited Yemen's decade-long civil war, intensified strikes against Saudi energy infrastructure, and pushed Brent crude oil prices above $105 per barrel, delivering a severe blow to Saudi oil transit while advancing Iran's broader strategy to elevate global energy prices against the United States.
Anthropic reported that although there is no evidence the Yemeni cell successfully deployed an operational weapon, the actors had already developed an offline simulation toolkit independent of Claude or external computing environments. In response to the growing risk of advanced artificial intelligence falling into dangerous hands—alongside noted attempts to research biological weapons—Anthropic banned the associated accounts and shared actionable threat data with public and private sector partners.
