US Directs Anthropic to Shut Off AI Model Access for All Foreign Nationals

The U.S. government issued a directive to Anthropic. The order requires the company to block its AI models for all foreign nationals. The restriction covers every non‑U.S. user of Anthropic’s services. Officials cited export‑control considerations as the basis for the action. Anthropic must implement technical measures to enforce the block. The decision could disrupt international research and collaboration. No specific timeline for compliance was detailed in the report. Industry stakeholders await further clarification on the enforcement process.
