White House places export controls on Anthropic after rapid‑fire talks with CEO

The administration announced new export restrictions on Anthropic’s AI models on Friday. The decision followed a series of urgent phone calls between Anthropic’s chief executive and officials. Officials expressed concern that the technology could be transferred to foreign adversaries. The controls limit the sale of certain advanced AI services abroad. Anthropic said it will work with the government to address the concerns. The move reflects the White House’s broader effort to regulate emerging AI capabilities. Lawmakers have called for clearer guidelines on AI export policy. The situation is expected to shape future discussions on AI security and trade.
