The report, citing sources familiar with the matter, stated that the UK governments proposals to Anthropic range from expanding its London office to a dual listing. Neither Anthropic nor the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology immediately responded to Reuters requests for comment. Prime Minister Starmers office has been supporting the Department for Science, Innovation and Technologys efforts, and the UK will present these proposals to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei during his visit to the UK at the end of May. The US government previously blacklisted Anthropic, deeming it a national security supply chain risk because Anthropic refused to allow the military to use its AI chatbot Claude in US surveillance or autonomous weapons systems. A US judge has temporarily blocked the blacklist, and the AI startup has filed a second lawsuit related to this supply chain risk assessment, which is still pending.The local governor said an oil pipeline in Primorsk, a Baltic port in Russia, was damaged in a Ukrainian drone attack.
