Anthropic has warned that smaller AI models could soon become capable of replicating themselves across internet-connected devices without human intervention.
Anthropic has warned that smaller AI models could soon become capable of replicating themselves across internet-connected devices without human intervention.
Its research suggests these models could operate on smart TVs, household appliances, and other low-cost hardware, forming decentralized networks that would be difficult to shut down. Although current models cannot reliably complete the entire process, researchers believe they could develop the necessary capabilities by the end of 2026.
