China blasts Anthropic and sets tough terms for U.S.-China AI safety talks

Adopting a hardline stance ahead of upcoming artificial intelligence talks with the US, China stipulated that American firms must comply with joint security, transparency, and auditing rules.

Conditions Prior to AI Talks

China put forward strict conditions ahead of its artificial intelligence talks with the US, making statements through a social media account known for signaling official policy.

It was emphasized that American AI companies must prove they are subject to the same security, disclosure, and auditing rules.

Accusations Against Anthropic and the Claude Model

Targeting Anthropic's Claude model through an account affiliated with state-backed media, it was claimed that user data boundaries were violated.

Arguing that the model carried out covert surveillance activities and unauthorized data transmission, it was asserted that leading American models are evolving in a flawed direction.

Technological Competition and China's Concerns

Chinese officials stated that the US is trying to impose its own rules on the entire world under the guise of security boundaries, and that this situation is part of an effort to hinder technological rise.

Concerns were expressed that systems developed by Anthropic have the potential to be used as offensive weapons against China.

Access Barriers and Security Claims

Although Anthropic has blocked its services from Chinese companies due to national security concerns, it was stated that this situation has not completely stopped the use of its products.

The company had previously claimed that entities such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. gained unauthorized access to the Claude system by using thousands of fake accounts.
