AI startup Anthropic has withdrawn its cutting-edge AI models Cloud Label 5 and Myths 5 from the global market. The company has taken this decision after the US banned foreign nationals from using this model. Now, non-US citizens, including Indians, cannot use it.
The US has said that aspects such as national security and cybersecurity will be jeopardized by this. This is the first time that any government has restricted the use of AI software instead of hardware or chips. The US government fears that this cutting-edge AI model can be jailbroken or bypass digital prisons. There is a great fear of cyber attacks on systems and critical infrastructure by finding flaws in computer systems, hacking government data.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Amazon researchers found some flaws in its anthropic model software using special prompts during a test. The US Department of Commerce was informed of this and action was taken. The company clarified that the flaws in the software are insignificant. It is not right to ban it globally. On the other hand, media reports have also revealed that the company has been restricted due to disagreements with the Trump administration.
