Anthropic rolls back China tracking code
Anthropic has rolled back code designed to track users affiliated with Chinese AI labs, which was part of an experiment involving the Claude Code feature. The move reflects heightened US-China competition over AI systems, with the White House recently lifting restrictions on foreign access to advanced Anthropic models while businesses remain concerned about potential US-led security measures. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has advocated for a US-led international forum to establish global AI safety standards.
