1. UK Government Courts Anthropic with London Expansion and Dual Listing Proposals

Anthropic. Britain’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is actively courting Anthropic with proposals including a London office expansion and a potential dual stock market listing on the London Stock Exchange, capitalizing on Anthropic’s ongoing clash with the US Pentagon over a supply-chain risk designation. The proposals will be presented to CEO Dario Amodei during a planned late May UK visit. Anthropic already employs over 150 staff in the UK and counts former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as a senior adviser. The courtship reflects broader competition among governments to attract frontier AI labs, particularly as geopolitical tensions create openings for jurisdictions offering more favorable regulatory environments.
