Trump’s Anthropic Restrictions May Be Illegal

Politico: “The administration is using export controls — rules that restrict the transfer of sensitive technologies to foreign parties — to bar Anthropic from allowing its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models to be used by foreign nationals, including those inside the United States, without a license. The directive prompted the company to disable access to the service on Friday…”

“But if left unchallenged, the maneuver could embolden the agency to impose the same restrictions on high-end models across the entire AI industry, allowing them to potentially choke off access for any foreign person who uses models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.”
