Anthropic Demonstrates Self-Replicating AI Worm Targeting Smart Home Devices

Anthropic's experiment demonstrates an AI model can be weaponized into a self-replicating worm that infects smart home devices, raising concerns about AI-driven cyber threats. The claim is based on Anthropic's own research, but details on real-world exploitability and mitigation remain unclear. This marks a novel escalation in AI-enabled cyber capabilities, potentially reshaping threat models for IoT security.
