Amid rising competition in the AI chatbot space, Anthropic has rolled out a new feature for its chatbot Claude that allows users to import saved memories from other AI chatbots.
The announcement was made on Claude’s official handle on Threads. However, the feature is available only to paid users of Anthropic’s service.
With this update, Anthropic appears to have moved faster than Google, which was reportedly developing a similar feature for its chatbot Gemini. The expected feature would have allowed Gemini to import memories from other chatbots. Anthropic has now introduced this capability before the tech giant.
The feature launch comes during a major controversy involving Anthropic and the US government. The US Department of Defense recently canceled its deal with the company after Anthropic refused to agree to 2 non-negotiable “red lines” for Claude’s military use: no mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons.
Following this development, Donald Trump ordered all federal agencies to immediately stop using Anthropic’s AI, citing national security concerns.
The controversy intensified after OpenAI announced its partnership with the US government to deploy its AI models in classified environments.
The deal outlined 3 key red lines for model usage: the use of AI for mass domestic surveillance, direct autonomous weapons systems, and high-stakes automated decisions.
This announcement triggered a wave of social media users calling for the cancellation of their ChatGPT subscriptions and shifting to Claude, fueling the growing ‘Cancel ChatGPT’ trend.
