London Mayor invites AI firm Anthropic to expand despite US concerns

What happened: London's Mayor Sadiq Khan has invited AI company Anthropic to grow its operations in the city, even as the US government considers the firm a supply chain risk.

Why it matters:

  • This move highlights London's ambition to be a global hub for AI innovation.
  • It may affect international relations and regulatory approaches between the UK and US.

MNN Take: While the US flags potential risks with Anthropic, London's invitation shows a focus on attracting tech investment and fostering AI development locally.
