ECB says it will not pre-commit to a specific interest-rate path.

ANTHROPIC said it blocked attempts by some researchers to use its Claude AI model for tasks that could "support biological weapons development", according to a detailed report. The report lists five cases, including one on enhancing transmission of a mosquito-borne disease. The company said it could not conclusively determine whether the cases were linked to a weapons program but blocked the activity and notified authorities and industry partners. ANTHROPIC also reported Claude being used for surveillance, fraud, conventional-weapons research and propaganda, and said it had identified and banned influence-operation accounts, including three linked to Iran; one Iran-linked actor used Claude to draft suggested attack targets against US naval forces in the region.
