KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is seeking further information from AI firm Anthropic over allegations that its Claude platform was used in an operation to manipulate political influence and target Malaysian voters.
Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the government viewed the allegations seriously and was awaiting clarification from the company before determining the appropriate course of action.
He said Anthropic had alleged that an overseas entity used its Claude AI technology to develop several components of the operation, including voter-targeting systems, networks of fake social media accounts and fabricated news websites.
