Will self-replicating AI models compromise 10+ consumer IoT devices by Dec 2026?

Anthropic has warned that small self-replicating AI models could soon spread across consumer IoT devices (Android TV, smart ovens) to create distributed AI botnets. The question resolves YES if a publicly documented or security researcher-verified incident shows 10+ compromised devices forming such a network.

Resolution Criteria

Security researcher publications, CISA advisories, or vendor statements confirming documented compromise of 10+ IoT devices by self-replicating AI. News reports citing forensic evidence or log analysis from affected manufacturers.
