Perplexity Gets Serious About Legal

Anthropic’s apparent inability to identify which of its users are foreign nationals has led to some collateral damage from a US export ban on its most powerful AI models — but there is a way around it, at least for some. On Friday, the US government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to Fable and Mythos, the new AI models it had introduced just a few days earlier, to all foreign nationals, citing national security reasons. While the drafters of the US order may have had sovereignty in mind, they ended up making it an identity management problem. “The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance,” Anthropic said in a blog post commenting on the order, implying that it was unable to distinguish between foreign nationals and US citizens in its user base. That’s likely the case today, but for its consumer customers, an update to its privacy policy, introduced last week and taking effect on July 8, gives it a new

For generations, technology export controls referred to the transfer of source code to other countries. But that no longer works, as the latest Anthropic fight with the US Commerce Department makes clear. On Friday, Anthropic announced that it had received instructions from Commerce “to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Anthropic models will not be affected.” Technically, the Commerce letter doesn’t explicitly say that, but lawyers and consultants argue that, when combined with an earlier executive order declaring Anthropic a supply chain risk, that very well might be what it means. What the Commerce letter says is that Anthropic needs a license to export Fable 5 and Mythos 5 (a “deemed export“), listing four circu
