Anthropic has changed its usage policy to ban users from engaging in "sustained and needless" abusive or cruel behavior toward Claude, its AI system. The Verge and BBC News both report the change.

The Verge says it is the first update to the policy in over a year. According to The Verge, the revisions also address newer, higher-risk kinds of misuse. It lists election interference, weapons development, surveillance, and health and financial uses.

The Verge describes the rule on abusive behavior as one of the most significant changes. The BBC reports that Anthropic said users can no longer treat the technology this way.
