Anthropic reported diary entry to police, woman faces felony charge

A Florida woman, Carli Michelle Heller, is facing a felony charge after Anthropic reported a diary entry she wrote in their chatbot to the police. Heller allegedly wrote on September 26 that she would attack the Sheriff's office, later stating she uses Anthropic's chatbot as a "diary." This incident highlights concerns about user privacy and the monitoring of AI interactions, especially given recent reports about human contractors reviewing user prompts and content on other AI platforms.

This report details the first known instance of an AI company reporting a user's private chatbot entry to law enforcement, unlike previous cases focused on content moderation.
