Anthropic反监控立场遭质疑，秘密Claude跟踪器引发用户震惊

英文标题：Secret Claude tracker shocks users after Anthropic’s anti-surveillance stance

Anthropic被指监视用户，一名工程师声称相关“实验”已经结束。阿里巴巴因担心Claude Code存在后门风险，已禁止员工在工作中使用该工具。此举反映出在美中人工智能竞争背景下，安全与信任问题日益凸显。

阿里巴巴尚未对Anthropic的指控置评，但在持续审查下，该公司已与Anthropic的模型保持距离。

据《南华早报》报道，上周五，阿里巴巴禁止员工在工作中使用Claude Code。根据南华早报查阅的一份备忘录，阿里巴巴告知员工，该禁令直接回应了有关Anthropic用来监控中国用户的跟踪器的担忧。

备忘录称：“由于Claude Code最近被发现存在后门风险，经过全面评估，Claude Code已被列入一份存在安全漏洞的高风险软件清单。”

对阿里巴巴而言，无视Anthropic决心检测与中国领先人工智能实验室相关的用户，风险巨大。

一位要求匿名讨论阿里巴巴Claude禁令的消息人士向路透社表示，与个人用户不同，后者可以轻易购买廉价规避技术来绕过Anthropic的地理封锁而不必担心重大后果，阿里巴巴如果被发现在违反Anthropic条款的情况下使用其服务，可能面临法律和合规风险。

对Anthropic而言，任由这些攻击继续可能损害公司业务。南华早报指出，一些中国开源模型比免费的美国开源模型更受欢迎，而且《财富》500强企业CEO们明确表示他们正在寻找更便宜的AI解决方案。对美国来说，不仅要阻止中国蒸馏美国模型的行动充满挑战，而且也可能不得人心——南华早报暗示，这等于阻止美国人从中国更便宜的AI替代方案中获益。

Anthropic的跟踪跨越了“可怕界限”

在这样的环境下，聊天机器人用户的忠诚度取决于对模型访问成本与其能力进行权衡的成本效益分析，Anthropic在与中国的竞争中奋力保持前沿模型领先地位，很可能承受不起失去用户信任的代价。

Alibaba has not commented on Anthropic’s accusations, but the company has moved to distance itself from Anthropic’s models amid ongoing scrutiny.

Last Friday, Alibaba banned its employees from using Claude Code for work, the South China Morning Post reported. According to a memo SCMP reviewed, Alibaba told employees the ban came in direct response to concerning news about a tracker Anthropic is using to monitor Chinese users.

“As Claude Code was recently discovered to carry back-door risks, after comprehensive evaluation, Claude Code has now been added to a list of high-risk software with security vulnerabilities,” the memo said.

For Alibaba, ignoring Anthropic’s determination to detect users connected to leading Chinese AI labs is risky.

Unlike individual users who can easily pay for cheap circumvention tech to evade Anthropic’s location blockers without fears of major repercussions, Alibaba could be exposed to legal and compliance risks if caught violating Anthropic’s terms, a source granted anonymity to discuss Alibaba’s Claude ban told Reuters.

For Anthropic, allowing the attacks to continue could hurt the company’s business. Some open source Chinese models are more popular than free and open American counterparts, the Post reported, and Fortune 500 CEOs have made it clear that they’re searching for cheaper AI solutions. For the US, not only would moving to block Chinese distillation of American models be challenging, but it could also be unpopular—blocking Americans from benefiting from cheaper AI alternatives from China, the Post suggested.

Anthropic tracking crossed “scary boundary”

In this climate, where a chatbot user’s loyalty depends on a cost-benefit analysis weighing the cost of accessing models against their capabilities, Anthropic likely can’t afford to lose user trust as it fights to keep frontier models ahead of China’s.
