Anthropic has implemented an identity verification system for certain use cases of its AI model, Claude. According to Foresight News, this measure aims to prevent misuse, enforce usage policies, and fulfill legal obligations. The verification process is supported by Persona, requiring users to submit a government-issued photo ID and possibly undergo real-time selfie verification.
Anthropic assures that the verification data is solely used for identity confirmation and not for model training, marketing, or advertising purposes. In cases of verification failure, users can retry multiple times within the process or request manual assistance through a form. Accounts may be banned for repeated violations of usage policies, terms of service, registration from unsupported regions, or use by individuals under 18 years of age.
