Anthropic bans AI model abuse and election interference in updated usage policy

Anthropic has updated its usage policy to explicitly ban prolonged verbal abuse of its AI model Claude, as well as election interference, weapons software, and surveillance uses. The policy aims to prevent extreme cases of user cruelty toward the AI without restricting normal frustration or research activities. It also prohibits deceptive campaigns like fake accounts and misleading voters to protect democratic processes. This update follows Anthropic's engagement with religious scholars about AI consciousness and reflects growing concerns over ethical AI use.

Anthropic's updated AI usage policy is the subject, with Pluang's Technology sector showing 59 of 150 stocks rising and 90 falling as of Oct 09, 2026 01:21 WIB. Among notable movers, BigBearai Holdings Inc (BBAI) traded at USD 2.36 with a 1-day change of -5.98% and 100% buy order activity, STMicroelectronics NV (STM) at USD 52.96 down 5.73%, and Intel Corp (INTC) at USD 106.81 down 5.58% with 76% buy orders. Typical hold times range from 29 to 116 days across these stocks.
