JPMorgan Restricts Hong Kong Employees' Access to Anthropic's Claude AI Model

According to Financial Times, JPMorgan has restricted its Hong Kong employees' access to Anthropic's Claude AI model, citing licensing agreement terms that exclude Greater China, including Hong Kong. Employees can no longer select Claude from the bank's approved large language model list.

Goldman Sachs implemented similar restrictions for its Hong Kong staff earlier this year based on the same licensing clause. As U.S. government scrutiny of AI technology's overseas use intensifies, Wall Street banks are tightening compliance measures, despite previous workarounds involving global contracts and offshore data hosting.
