JPMorgan Chase Restricts Anthropic AI Access for Hong Kong Employees
In a move following Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase has cut off access to the Anthropic AI tool for its staff in Hong Kong, raising questions about the implications for AI use in the region.
On June 18, 2026, JPMorgan Chase announced that it would restrict access to the Anthropic AI tool, known as Claude, for its employees based in Hong Kong.
This decision aligns with a similar action taken by Goldman Sachs, which has also limited the use of AI tools in the Asian financial hub.
The implications of this restriction for the financial sector in Hong Kong remain uncertain, as firms navigate the evolving landscape of AI technology.
