The US government has denied foreign users access to Anthropic's latest AI models. The measure was taken last Friday allegedly for security reasons.
The decision highlights the growing importance of AI security policy. Stephan Scheuer, technology chief at Handelsblatt, described the move as a shock for Europe.
While debates in Germany revolve around Digitalminister Karsten Wildberger's use of AI, the US measure draws attention to actual access to advanced technology.
Europe thus finds itself cut off from current developments. Responsibility for content should remain with humans, yet the technological gap widens.
