Goldman Sachs blocks Anthropic Claude in Hong Kong as AI tension between US and China rises
Goldman Sachs has restricted the use of Anthropic's Claude AI model in Hong Kong due to contractual concerns, amid rising tensions between US and Chinese AI companies. US AI firms have accused Chinese companies of using their models to train competing systems at a lower cost.
Goldman Sachs has blocked its Hong Kong employees from using Anthropic's Claude AI model. The decision was made after consulting Anthropic and taking a strict view of its contract with the company. Hong Kong is a major hub for investment banking and finance in Greater China. US AI models like ChatGPT and Claude are banned in mainland China, but Hong Kong has generally operated outside of Chinese censors. Anthropic recently alleged that Chinese firms, including DeepSeek and MiniMax, secretly used Claude to train competing models. China has also tightened control over its AI firms, barring Manus AI from selling itself to Meta.
