US export controls on Anthropic triggered by China-spy fears over SK Telecom partnership
By

Summary
The Trump administration imposed strict export controls on AI company Anthropic, triggered by national security concerns over its powerful Claude Mythos model. Anthropic had provided access to this system to South Korean telecom giant SK Telecom through its Project Glasswing program. US security agencies suspected SK Telecom had hidden connections to China (Beijing), leading the White House to revoke trust in Anthropic's Mythos model and implement a "KI-Lockdown" (AI lockdown) with far-reaching export restrictions.

Auslöser für weitreichende Exportkontrollen gegen die KI-Schmiede Anthropic ist ein schwelender Konflikt um den Zugang zu dessen leistungsstärkster Technologie, dem Modell Claude Mythos.
Anthropic stellte dieses System im Rahmen seines Programms Project Glasswing laut Wired auch dem südkoreanischen Telekommunikationsriesen SK Telecom zur Verfügung.
Das soll die Sicherheitsbehörden im Weißen Haus auf den Plan gerufen haben, die hinter der südkoreanischen Firma verdeckte Verbindungen nach Peking vermuten.
Weil der koreanische Partner SK Telecom vermeintlich Verbindungen nach Peking hat, entzog das Weiße Haus Anthropic das Vertrauen für Mythos.
