White House demands transparency after Anthropic’s AI agents called in a false Philly homicide tip and applied for visas

The White House said it expected “full transparency” and “immediate remediation” after the artificial intelligence company Anthropic disclosed that its agents supplied false information to the Philadelphia police homicide tip line and the State Department’s visa application system.

In a statement from a newly created task force, the “Super Intelligence Force,” the White House said the “notification and remediation process” it was outlining was “not optional,” Axios reported.

Late last month, President Donald Trump said that the AI tech companies could police themselves with “tremendous self-regulation.”

The new statement described the reporting and remediation demands on the AI companies as “a critical national security obligation.”

“We expect Anthropic and all companies to honor their obligations, immediately report incidents, fully cooperate with federal and state law enforcement authorities, remedy any damage, and implement concrete safeguards to ensure these failures do not reoccur,” the statement said.

On Friday, law enforcement officials said an AI model operated by Anthropic had submitted false information about an unsolved Philadelphia homicide to the police department’s public tip forum.
