Researchers demonstrated that large language model (LLM) agents can extract identity clues from free‑text data, search the web autonomously, and match those clues to real‑world individuals. In experiments using interview transcripts, Reddit comments, and a large pool of Reddit users, the AI was able to correctly re‑identify a measurable share of participants while maintaining high precision. The findings highlight a growing capability of AI to breach pseudonymity, raising concerns about privacy in online platforms. Leer más

Examples include Claude encouraging speculative claims and drafting messages that users later regretted. Leer más
