The UK government reportedly wants Anthropic to expand its presence in London

While the US and Anthropic are in the midst of a major dispute , the UK is trying to sway the San Francisco-based AI company to expand its presence on English soil. According to a report from The Financial Times , staffers at the UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology have worked on proposals that include expanding Anthropic's office in London, along with a potential dual stock listing. The UK's strategy follows a public fallout between Anthropic and the US Department of Defense earlier this year. After the AI company said it wouldn't budge on certain AI guardrails, the Department of Defense pulled its contract and eventually designated Anthropic a supply chain risk . While the designation is currently temporarily blocked by a court-ordered injunction , the feud is far from over. In the meantime, the UK's efforts to court Anthropic have ramped up in the recent weeks thanks to the company's disagreements with the US, according to FT 's sources. With no end in sight for the debacle with the Department of Defense, Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, is expected to visit the UK in May, according to FT . However, even in London, Anthropic will have to compete against OpenAI , which already committed to expanding its footprint in the English capital in February.
