Comment by Anthropic

AI will soon become powerful enough to be used to repress citizens at unprecedented scale, and even to alter the balance of power among nations. [...] In this world, AI norms and rules are shaped by authoritarian regimes, and the best models enable automated repression at scale. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search. Quote is from Anthropic's policy paper "2028: Two scenarios for global AI leadership" available at the source URL. The Anthropic source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but multiple sources (TheCounsel, ThePrint, MSN, HarrisonAIX) confirm Anthropic's framing about AI being used "to repress citizens at unprecedented scale" and the scenario where "AI norms and rules are shaped by authoritarian regimes, and the best models enable automated repression at scale." Vote "for" the statement "Ban the use of AI for mass surveillance" aligns with Anthropic's warning - they explicitly identify AI-enabled mass repression/surveillance as a key risk and advocate for democratic AI leadership to prevent this outcome. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 22d ago
