According to a report by Hong Kong's “South China Morning Post” on October 8, a Chinese scholar in the field of artificial intelligence announced his departure from the American AI startup Anthropic to join its competitor Google's DeepMind Labs. He said that Anthropic's “anti-China rhetoric” was one of the important reasons he left his job. According to an article posted by Yao Shunyu on his personal blog on the 6th, he left after working for less than a year at Anthropic, the developer of the big language model Claude. He said he “strongly opposed” the company's “anti-China remarks.” Last month, Anthropic announced it would stop providing artificial intelligence services to “companies held by Chinese entities” and listed China as a “hostile country” in internal documents. In response, Yao Shunyu wrote in the article: “I believe most Anthropic employees don't agree with this characterization, but I don't think I can stay any longer.”
