But it is not just cyber-crime that the tech is being used for. Anthropic said "North Korean operatives" used its models to create fake profiles to apply for remote jobs at US Fortune 500 tech companies. The use of remote jobs to gain access to companies' systems has been known about for a while, but Anthropic says using AI in the fraud scheme is "a fundamentally new phase for these employment scams". It said AI was used to write job applications, and once the fraudsters were employed, it was used to help translate messages and write code. Often, North Korean workers are "are sealed off from the outside world, culturally and technically, making it harder for them to pull off this subterfuge," said Geoff White, co-presenter of the BBC podcast The Lazarus Heist.
