Anthropic 更新使用政策：禁止虐待模型与干预选举

Anthropic 于周四更新了其使用政策，将禁止干预选举、武器软件和监控等新规定正式纳入政策。不过，最受关注的变化或许是新增了对长期言语虐待模型的禁止：这类行为如今被明确禁止。

自 8 月的一次更新以来，Claude 已被训练为在遇到“持续有害或辱骂性的用户互动”时结束对话；而新政策明确禁止用户继续进行这类对话。

该公告解释称：“此次政策更新仅适用于极端情况，即用户在没有明显目的的情况下，反复残酷地对待我们的模型。它不适用于用户常见的挫败表达、质疑、黑暗创作主题，或模型测试与研究。”

这一变化出台之际，Anthropic 一直在寻求与知名宗教学者合作——在某些情况下，试图说服他们相信 Claude 可能具有意识或灵魂。

使用政策中的独立章节还禁止用户开展大规模欺骗性活动，例如利用 Claude 运营虚假账号或伪造新闻媒体。政策还在题为“不得破坏民主程序”（“Do Not Undermine Democratic Processes”）的章节中，纳入了禁止欺骗选民或扰乱选举的规则。

Anthropic updated its usage policy on Thursday, codifying new prohibitions on election interference, weapons software, and surveillance. But perhaps the most attention-getting change is a new prohibition against prolonged verbal abuse of the model, which is now expressly forbidden.

Since an update in August, Claude has been trained to end conversations with “persistently harmful or abusive user interactions” — but the new policy explicitly bars users from pursuing those conversations.

“The policy update is meant to apply only in extreme cases, where users repeatedly act cruelly toward our models, with no discernible purpose,” the post explains. “It does not apply to common versions of user frustration, pushback, dark creative themes, or model testing and research.”

The change comes after Anthropic has sought out collaborations with prominent religious scholars — in some cases, seeking to convince them that Claude could be conscious or have a soul.

Separate sections of the usage policy forbid users from engaging in broadly deceptive campaigns, such as using Claude to run fake accounts or fabricated news outlets. The policy also includes rules against deceiving voters or disrupting elections, collected in a section titled “Do Not Undermine Democratic Processes.”
