<\/a><\/p>\n Some in the industry have criticized Anthropic\u2019s handling of government talks over the new models.<\/p>\n David Sacks, former AI tsar to the US government, wrote on X that a \u201ccredible trusted partner had approached the administration with a way to circumvent the guardrails placed on Fable. Anthropic had downplayed their concerns, he claimed, forcing the government to \u201creluctantly\u201d impose the ban.<\/p>\n The export ban follows public clashes between Anthropic and senior government figures over issues such as the use of Anthropic\u2019s technology in domestic surveillance and lethal autonomous weapons. In February, the Pentagon named Anthropic as a supply-chain risk to national security. The two sides are in litigation over the designation.<\/p>\n Anthropic declined to comment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Research shows that the government\u2019s recent move may tally with US public opinion, with YouGov polling showing that the majority surveyed agreed that effective regulation was important even if it slowed technological advances.<\/p>\n French President Emmanuel Macron this week said the Anthropic dispute had \u201cclarified the stakes\u201d for the US and its allies in the G7. He called for \u201cstronger regulation of artificial intelligence\u201d and warned against the risk of \u201cnon-cooperation among democracies.\u201d<\/p>\n Lennart Heim, an independent AI policy researcher who formerly worked at think-tank Rand, said the US government\u2019s response did \u201cnot inspire confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou have an administration that has positioned itself as pro-innovation, has pushed to export advanced AI chips to China, and has criticized safety-focused regulation\u2014and then it turns around and bans the most advanced US model.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a9 2026 The Financial Times Ltd<\/a>.
