US AI giant Anthropic bars Chinese-owned entities
Anthropic's ban targets companies majority-owned by Chinese entities to prevent technology use that could enhance China's military, potentially impacting hundreds of millions in revenue, the firm said.
- On September 5, 2025, US AI firm Anthropic barred Chinese-owned companies and their subsidiaries from accessing its technology worldwide.
- This action followed concerns that companies controlled by authoritarian regimes like China face legal demands risking national security.

- The firm emphasized that ensuring AI is developed safely and securely depends on a shared dedication to stopping its exploitation by authoritarian entities.
- The policy could reduce revenue by low hundreds of millions and highlights rising US efforts to restrict China’s AI access amid geopolitical tensions.
