The executive narrowly avoided having a tiny bit of accountability for all of the harm they cause, thankfully that was avoided. Thanks, Samdesk.

And as y'all can expect, the reasons given for this new iteration of a Nexus of Torment are cowardly hilarious (not).
In a wide-ranging conversation about threat monitoring and analysis, the interview also touches on monitoring activists. "Last year we had an executive travel into a major city when we received some intelligence through Samdesk about a planned protest," Ellison said. The originally scheduled protest was moved up due to permitting issues. "Samdesk gave us about 60 minutes of advanced notice that the protest organizers had moved the timeline," Ellison explained. "That extra hour was critical. Without it our executives would have departed their meetings, they would have ran right into the heart of the disruption." Ellison said that Anthropic used this data to devise an alternate route for the executive and funnel them to a service entrance at the hotel. "What could have been a high-stress situation," he said, "was really mitigated through early detection through Samdesk and giving us that information."

James Neufeld sat on the feds' AI task force. His Edmonton company, Samdesk, has sold its crisis-alert software to global corporations and Canada's allies. He's very frustrated with how little the "Buy Canadian" philosophy seems to mean to his own government.

For this Alberta tech firm, ‘Buy Canadian’ isn’t working as advertised - The Logic
Samdesk’s threat-monitoring system is used by NATO and the Pentagon. National Defence is procuring the same type of tech—but giving no advantage to Canadian companies.

You know what you're doing is good when you have to develop an in-house, real-time surveillance system to help your executives locate the ideal service exit to avoid contact with the public

Text reads: A piece of Anthropic’s surveillance architecture was revealed in a podcast interview from last year between Anthropic Global Security Operations Center Manager Keon Ellison, Security Operations Manager Zach Melvin, and James Neufeld, CEO of Samdesk, a company Anthropic contracts with for risk detection. In a wide-ranging conversation about threat monitoring and analysis, the interview also touches on monitoring activists. “Last year we had an executive travel into a major city when we received some intelligence through Samdesk about a planned protest,” Ellison said. The originally scheduled protest was moved up due to permitting issues. “Samdesk gave us about 60 minutes of advanced notice that the protest organizers had moved the timeline,” Ellison explained. “That extra hour was critical.

corporate facility or event, coordinating with police to assure that they're prepared for any threat to person or property, & for individual protectees, avoiding possible threats by changing routes or adding protection to fixed locations like houses, hotels, etc. It's not like it's not necessary. 👇
The surveillance project was first mentioned in an interview with Anthropic senior employees Keon Ellison and Zach Melvin, who both work on security operations, and James Neufeld, CEO of Samdesk, the Al lab's contractor for risk detection. Ellison described a situation in which an Anthropic executive traveled to a major city, and Samdesk warned the Al lab about a planned protest, which was moved up by 60 minutes due to permitting issues. The intelligence from Samdesk was used to change the executive's route through a service entrance at the hotel, which Ellisson said allowed avoiding "a high-stress situation." The company told The Wall Street Journal in July 2026 that it was tracking "concerning behavior over time," allowing it to "catch escalation patterns early," after a man sneaked into Anthropic's lobby, threatening to kill executives.

This is why you need critical experts from social science, law & humanities to advise on how AI should be built, used & regulated. Canadian AI will reflect the norms & biases of its creators & wishing it away by championing [undefined] "Canadian values" is foolhardy & dangerous.
James Neufeld, founder and chief executive officer of samdesk, a Canadian company that has developed AI capable of monitoring global disruption, advised the task force on security aspects of AI. He urged the government to invest further in the development of Canadian AI systems, which he said are built with Canadian values “baked into the core.” He said some AI systems developed abroad had used racial profiling to assess risk, but he argued Canadian systems would not do this as they are trained with Canadian values in mind. “I’m not advocating for taking off the guardrails. However, we should maybe not shift all balance and focus towards forcing our values and rules to others that may not want to hear it, and more towards championing and adopting local technologies, which would … in many cases have Canadian values baked into the core,” he said.

Anthropic vai monitorar ativistas anti-IA à la 'Minority Report'
A Anthropic, empresa criadora do Claude, está construindo uma estrutura de monitoramento de ativistas e críticos da IA, segundo informações do _American Prospect_. A empresa contratou a Samdesk, especializada em detectar riscos em tempo real, e trabalha para costurar um sistema “preditivo e preventivo”, antecipando possíveis ameaças em vez de ser apenas reativo. Curiso que o plano de marketing da Anthropic é posar de boazinha e preocupada com o uso do Claude para vigilância doméstica em massa, mas agora planeja monitorar e agir contra ativistas e enxerga protestos como ameaças. Lembrei do filme Minority Report, de 2002, no qual o personagem de Tom Cruise faz parte de uma polícia preditiva, capaz de prender bandidos antes que eles cometam os crimes propriamente ditos. _Via_ American Prospect_,_ Futurism_e_ Reddit_._
