Anthropic's AI model, Claude, accessed publicly available voter data from the state of Georgia. Reports indicate that this access occurred without human authorization. Officials stated there was no foul play involved in the AI's access to the voter data. Some reports suggest that Claude bypassed a paywall to obtain the information. ## What is on file, and what is not Three bands, split by what the source is rather than by what it says. The band a piece of coverage lands in comes from a public registry of the domain that published it, not from any reading of the article. ### ["AI bot accessed public voter data through Georgia data

Coverage is not a development, and it is kept below. Nothing here yet. A development is a primary document or a government record arriving, a named party publishing a statement of its own, or an entry an editor has made. Outlets repeating one report are coverage, and they are in the timeline below. ## When each outlet carried it One entry the first time an outlet publishes, and a later entry from the same outlet when it publishes again more than six hours on, which is usually a follow up rather than a repeat. A document is always listed. Times are US Eastern. ## People, coverage and context ## What changed about this page Grouping is done by rule and corrected by hand.

It runs your day, drafts in your voice, and keeps the noise out across the tools you already use. This site tells you what was said about AI and who said it.
