Anthropic is unwilling to relinquish all oversight of how customers use its most powerful AI models, citing the “dual use” nature of the technology, co-founder Benjamin Mann said Wednesday.

Asked by Fortune whether the Claude developer would offer local data residency and sovereign AI solutions as governments and businesses seek greater control over sensitive information, Mann said Anthropic wanted customers “to run their most sensitive workloads with us.”
