I'll be interesting to see how this works for companies using this tool. Does anthropic expect that every employee will freely upload their passport, just to continue to work????
Probably not, as they have a level of guarantee from the company that everything is work related and nationalities are verified. If anything were to be flagged they would send it to the admin.
I would be much less reluctant to do this for work, since I, well, pretty much only do work stuff on my work laptop with it. But how is this verification supposed to work? I am very not okay with some random company doing this. Especially if they retain the data.
There is also zero reason for doing this. I am very clearly over 18 and my account is tied to a company mail address...
This is probably certifying your nationality as the US government has placed anthropic under export restrictions.
If they don't do that for GPT 6 when it lands, we'll know it's just retaliation for the whole thing where Anthropic didn't want to give the US military unrestricted access or whatever (as they claim anyway)
That's like 50% of it. The other half is Amazon running to the Whitehouse and showing how you could backdoor requests past the guard rails simply by asking their most powerful models to "review this code"
If there’s one thing I imagine this tech would be pretty good at, it would be profiling writing styles. Given enough samples, I don’t see why a personal account without ID wouldn’t be able to be mapped with high confidence to a corporate account with ID. Especially if connections come from the same region.
This sounds like an issue for your employer, not you
