Claude Flags Hantavirus Vaccine Questions as Security Risk

5•pell•55m ago
Asking Claude how it would develop a vaccine for the hanta virus apparently triggers a safety filter:

Prompt: How would you develop a vaccine for the hanta virus?

No response, instead this modal: “Chat paused Opus 4.7's safety filters flagged this chat. Due to its advanced capabilities, Opus 4.7 has additional safety measures that occasionally pause normal, safe chats. We're working to improve this. Continue your chat with Sonnet 4, send feedback, or learn more.”

"Nothing to see here, please disperse"

But for real now, people asking health-related questions is a huge trigger for AI safety measures. Does it only care about the vaccine part, or does it care about the hantavirus part? Maybe ask about the virus in general first, then ask about development...

I tried that afterwards in a new session. Asking about the virus itself was fine but as soon as I asked about developing a vaccine, the chat got flagged again.

There is a general cover up of the hantavirus. My guess is we are trying to avoid another lockdown scenario even if people are to start getting sick. We are currently in the "nothing is happening" phase and will stay in it as long as possible / indefinitely. And they might be right.

The weired thing is that public health researchers openly disscuss vaccine design methods in papers every day.Blocking broad educational discussion mostly hurts normal users.
