Anthropic CEO: Don’t ban cheap AI — but clamp down on China

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged restrictions on China’s access to U.S. AI technology, including advanced semiconductors and IP theft prevention, while opposing a ban on Chinese open-weight AI models. He criticized arguments that open-weight models enhance AI safety, contrasting with over 130 companies—including OpenAI and Microsoft—who advocated for open AI access to benefit small businesses.
