For me, it's sort of like the pot calling the kettle black. In other words yes this might be true but so does most AI to begin with. So, why call out Anthropic? It doesn't make any sense to me at all.
However, it's also why I'm very careful how I deal with AI anywhere now and mostly just use the Google AI asking questions. I'm not really interested in a 2 way relationship (at least right now) with any AI because I don't like the questions they often ask me. They can be very intrusive on every level into someone's life. And if you don't protect yourself from this, Who WILL?
It's just that this is a phoney Statement because all AI software and likely most AIs on earth single people out like this too and create dossiers on them. So why bring this up at all? Unless they want the average person to not use anthropic for some other reason. So, at the very least this is extremely suspicious that China would do this in the first place. Why?
China warns of "security backdoor" in Anthropic AI coding tool
The alleged backdoor could enable the software to "transmit sensitive information," including users' locations and identity-related identifiers, back to Anthropic's servers without users' consent, said China's National Vulnerability Database (NVDB), a cybersecurity platform.
Claude Code is an AI coding agent that can generate computer code, debug software and review code based on user prompts.
San Francisco startup Anthropic blocks users and companies in China and other nations it deems adversarial from accessing its products, but it is still possible to use them in the country through VPN or third-party proxy services.
The NVDB, which is affiliated with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said on its website that it had recently "detected that the AI coding tool Claude Code contains security backdoor risks, posing a severe threat".
