美国据报正考虑限制“外国人员”访问前沿AI模型。特朗普政府已首先针对Anthropic,要求其向包括自家员工在内的外国人员提供最新模型前必须取得许可证。OpenAI也表达担忧。据MacroPolo估算,2024年顶级AI会议论文作者中38%本科毕业于中国。若政策全面推行,前沿AI实验室将面临严峻处境。Anthropic与Fable 5相关事件因此意义重大。
AI labs are built on foreign talent. Thats a fact. Now the US is reportedly testing restrictions on "foreign persons" accessing frontier models.
"The Trump administration appears to have targeted only Anthropic so far, warning the company on Friday in a letter from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick that it would need a license to make its latest models available to "foreign persons," including its own employees. But Anthropic's biggest rival, OpenAI, has flagged its concerns about the issue." (The Information)
38% of researchers publishing at leading AI conferences in 2024 got their undergrad education in China, per MacroPolo estimates cited by The Information.
If US policy starts restricting model access by nationality, frontier labs are suddenly in a very difficult situation.
