Peter Swire in the Scientific American: The U.S. restricted Anthropic’s powerful Fable model. Cybersecurity experts say that could backfire

Peter Swire, a professor at the School of Cybersecurity and Privacy at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a former adviser to the Clinton and Obama administrations, says Anthropic’s broader shutdown may have been precisely the outcome the Trump administration wanted. Although the order was framed as an export-control action aimed at foreign nationals, the company responded by pulling the models for everyone. “The administration used the legal tool of export controls, but their real goal was to block use by everyone, Americans included,” Swire says.
