JPMorgan Joins Goldman in Restricting Access to Anthropic's AI Models
Anthropic's AI technology is under increasing scrutiny following reports that financial giant JPMorgan has removed access to Claude models for its Hong Kong staff. This move comes just months after Goldman Sachs made a similar decision, citing concerns over Anthropic's licensing terms.
The Financial Times reported on Thursday that the wording of Anthropic's usage terms in its licensing agreement was the reason for JPMorgan's decision. The bank had removed Claude from an internal list of approved large language models available to employees in Hong Kong.
Anthropics' AI technology has been under a microscope since the U.S. ordered the company to bar foreign entities and individuals from using its Mythos and Fable 5 AI models due to national security risks. Anthropic pulled its latest AI models after U.S. authorities raised security concerns and directed the company to suspend access for foreign entities and individuals.
The company has been working with the government to allay concerns, hoping to ultimately reverse the export control. However, the developments may complicate Anthropic's path to an initial public offering (IPO), which it confidentially filed for last month.
