Anthropic Suspends AI Models After US Blocks Foreign Access

The Trump administration has ordered Anthropic to restrict access to its latest artificial intelligence models by foreign nationals, citing national security concerns. The company has suspended the models while it complies with the directive. The move blocks non-U.S. users from using the technology, which experts say could pose risks if acquired by adversaries. Anthropic did not specify which countries or individuals are affected but confirmed it is working with federal authorities. The suspension is temporary, pending a review of security protocols. The decision underscores growing government scrutiny of advanced AI systems as potential tools for espionage or cyberattacks.
