00:03Alibaba will ban employees from using Anthropics' artificial intelligence tools for work
00:07as of July 10th, according to CNBC. The company put Anthropics' Claude Code
00:12on a high-risk software list, citing concerns about backdoor security risks.
00:17Employees must uninstall Anthropics models and agent products and use
00:21Alibaba's own AI assistant, Coder. The move follows Anthropics' June letter
00:26to the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, accusing Alibaba of brazenly and illicitly
00:30trying to extract its AI capabilities. Anthropics also accused Alibaba
00:35of carrying out the largest known distillation attack against it.
00:39Both companies declined to comment. The ban comes as Anthropics moves to close
00:44loopholes that allowed Chinese companies to access Claude through third countries.
