Goldman Sachs Restricts Hong Kong Bankers' Access to Anthropic AI Models

Goldman Sachs has restricted its Hong Kong bankers from accessing Anthropic's AI models, including Claude, following a strict interpretation of its contract with Anthropic after consultation. This move, reported by multiple sources, does not affect access to other AI tools like ChatGPT. Anthropic stated its products were never officially supported in Hong Kong. The decision reflects growing caution among global banks amid data security concerns and rising US-China tensions over AI technology use and regulation.
