What's up with the weird list of the supported countries? It isn't available in most European countries (except for Ukraine and UK) but on the other hand lot o

  This is their updated list of supported countries: https://www.anthropic.com/supported-countries https://www.anthropic.com/supported-countries

    I think that's not the updated list, but a different list. https://www.anthropic.com/supported-countries https://www.anthropic.com/supported-countries lists all the countries for API access, where they presumably offload a lot more liability to the customers to ensure compliance with local regulations. https://www.anthropic.com/claude-ai-locations https://www.anthropic.com/claude-ai-locations list all supported companies for the ChatGPT-like interface (= end-user product), under claude.ai, for which they can't ensure that they are complying with EU regulations.

  EU has chosen to be late to tech in favor of regulations that seek to make a more fair market. Releasing in the EU is hard.

  I seem to remember Google Bard was limited in Europe as well because there was just too much risk getting slapped by the EU regulators for making potentially unsafe AI accessible to the European public.

  Arbitrary region locking : for example supported in Algeria and not in the neighboring Tunisia ... both are in North Africa
  • VWWHFSfQ 3y ago
    There's nothing arbitrary about it and both being located in North Africa means nothing. Tunisia has somewhat strict personal data protection laws and Algeria doesn't. That's the difference.
    • JacobiX 3y ago
      I know both countries, and in Algeria the Law No. 18-07, effective since August 10, 2023, establishes personal data protection requirements with severe penalties. The text is somewhat more strict than Tunisia.

        ... then it doesn't seem arbitrary at all?
