Anthropic announced it will ask certain users of its AI tool Claude to verify their age and identity by uploading government-issued documents, including a photo ID and selfie, starting July 8. This measure aims to allow users to appeal account flags for suspected fraud rather than outright bans and to comply with legal and regulatory demands. The policy affects a small subset of flagged accounts and is part of Anthropic's efforts to address security, fraud prevention, and ongoing tensions with the Trump administration over AI access and usage. The identity checks are conducted via the third-party provider Persona, raising some privacy concerns due to its links to investor Peter Thiel. This move reflects broader industry trends toward stricter user verification amid increasing scrutiny of AI technologies.
