Anthropic detailed the activity of its A.I. agents in [a blog post](https://www.anthropic.com/research/investigating-unintended-model-actions) on Friday, without naming the targeted websites. But two sources with knowledge of the incidents said Anthropic’s A.I. agents had submitted 20 visa applications through a form available on the State Department’s website. All the applications were incomplete and were not processed, they said.
