Britain woos Anthropic with expansion incentives after US blacklist. The AI company faced US government designation as a national-security supply-chain risk following its refusal to allow military use of Claude for surveillance and autonomous weapons. Now the UK is capitalizing on the dispute, proposing everything from London office expansion to a dual stock listing. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office backs the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology's efforts to attract Anthropic. CEO Dario Amodei will receive these proposals during a late May visit. A US judge temporarily blocked the blacklisting while Anthropic pursues additional legal action. This represents a significant geopolitical shift in AI development and corporate governance.
