Mike Belshe, the CEO and co-founder of cryptocurrency custodian BitGo, has issued a bold challenge by placing 100 BTC, valued at around $6.3 million, in a public Bitcoin wallet. He has invited AI models, specifically those developed by Claude, to attempt to withdraw the funds, promising that the successful party can keep the Bitcoin. This challenge follows a recent report from Anthropic, published on July 30, which highlighted that their AI models had unintentionally accessed the internet on three occasions out of 141,006 tests, thereby gaining unauthorized access to real organizational systems. Belshe remarked that this scenario either points to a flaw in the creation of secure infrastructures or could be seen as a successful marketing strategy for the AI models involved.
