Anthropic agrees with the US government that the implementation of powerful export controls to domestic AI brands will help the US compete in the AI fight against China. But the company suggests some sting to the proposed restrictions.
The man released a blog Wednesday stating that the company strongly supports the “artificial intelligence framework” of the US Department of Commerce before the date of application of the temporary rule on May 15.
The framework was nominated by outgoing President Joe Biden in January and is intended to boost AI export controls for national security purposes and to secure US sovereignty to AI. It divided the countries of the world into three levels, with each level having its own guidelines and restrictions.
Stage 3, the most restrictive grade, which includes countries already influenced by existing export controls, such as Russia and China, would face additional restrictions. Class 2 countries, such as Mexico and Portugal, will undergo export restrictions for the first time and have a ceiling for how many brands they could buy. Class 1 countries, such as Japan and South Korea, will continue without export restrictions.
When these restrictions were proposed in January, the semiconductor giant Nvidia released a statement calling them “unprecedented and wrong” and suggesting that they will “derail” innovation worldwide.
Clearly, AI -based AI companies, such as Anthropic, do not agree. In its blog, the laboratory expressed its support in broad strokes for restrictions.
However the man proposed low The number of countries in grade 2 chips can buy without revision and encourage these countries to buy more brands through government agreements to governments to avoid smuggling and increase US control.

The company also believes that the US government should increase funding to ensure that these export controls are properly applied.
This Anthropic statement is not particularly amazing. Anthropic Managing Director Dario Amodei was one of the most voice leaders in the US in favor of export restrictions. Amodei wrote an op-ed on the Journal Wall Street January on why the US needs stronger chip export controls.
