JPMorgan Chase has restricted its Hong Kong employees from accessing Anthropic's AI models. The decision follows pressure from both the U.S. government and the company itself. The White House blocked all foreign nationals from using Anthropic's most advanced models, citing national security concerns. Anthropic responded by shutting public access to those models.
Anthropic has also barred all its products from use in mainland China. The company cited fears that Chinese AI firms could train their own models on its output through distillation attacks.
The Financial Times reported that the bank's decision represents a threat to Hong Kong's revival as an international financial centre, given growing AI adoption in coding. Goldman Sachs has taken similar steps to restrict Anthropic use.
