Houthis used Anthropic's AI to develop ballistic missiles

Anthropic identified a group in northern Yemen using Claude to write code for missile guidance, control, and navigation systems. The projects included multi-stage ballistic missiles, guided shells, and hypersonic gliders.

The AI replaced engineers for coding, system tuning, flight modeling, and failure analysis. While Anthropic blocked the accounts and found no evidence of weaponized results, the group reportedly transferred some tools offline.
