I wonder how this is going to work given half the people working at the AI labs are Chinese foreign nationals, and even more interesting, DeepMind is based in the UK. Plus there is an awful lot of AI research going on all across Europe, especially Switzerland, that is feeding straight into the US major labs.

Banning foreign nationals from using your technology only makes sense if you don't rely on foreign nationals to build it in the first place.

Or are we so far along now we think we don't need them anymore.

I'm wondering if they might go for a restricted access model that goes beyond passport or citizenship, where people can still use it, but you have to be individually vetted, and put on a list to get security clearance.

Deepmind and OpenAI have offices in Europe. But I don't think Anthroipc does?

		Right, but I am talking about the general government response trajectory. And also, even though Anthropic may not have labs themselves directly, there is a funnel of research that comes in the form of papers and conference tracks. The AI community is pretty tight knit, and not having access to frontier models affects everyone.

		They have a presence in London; have met someone who works there. Sounds like there is an office too
