According to the Financial Times, the UK is trying to persuade Anthropic to expand its operations in the country. The report, citing sources familiar with the matter, states that the UK government's proposals to Anthropic range from expanding its London office to a dual listing. Neither Anthropic nor the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology immediately responded to Reuters' requests for comment. The office of Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been supporting the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology's efforts, and the proposals will be presented to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei during his visit to the UK at the end of May. The US government previously blacklisted Anthropic, deeming it a national security supply chain risk because Anthropic refused to allow the military to use its AI chatbot, Claude, in US surveillance or autonomous weapons systems. A US judge has temporarily blocked the blacklist, and the AI startup has filed a second lawsuit over this supply chain risk assessment, which is still pending. (Jinshi)
