Individuals can leave, but the company cannot transfer restricted intellectual property. Europe has extradition treaties, so the U.S. can force anyone in Europe back to the U.S. for criminal indictment who demonstrates inappropriate possession of this technology.

Simply move the training datasets and recreate it in the EU. However, I think the US would treat this as treason (like they wouldn't want nuclear scientist to work for other nations).

  I believe that Dario Amodei (Anthropic CEO) was born in Italy, and is already an EU citizen. He is probably reviewing many exit options today.

    no, he's american born. He would be entitled to (or already have) Italian citizenship by ius sanguinis ("blood right") tho.

      Wow. Calling out blatant lies and got downvoted four times with no comment behind that. Peak HN experience. Also that comment got indexed by Google already.

        Hey, I obviously could not have downvoted you. I had remembered Amodei's Italian heritage and assumed that he was born in Italy. I've forgotten where I read this. I was wrong.

        No worries. These days people downvote for any reason so I'm getting used to it.
