JUST IN: Anthropic is updating its policy to require ID verification for some Claude users. Starting July 8, users whose accounts are flagged for potentially fraudulent activity may be asked to upload a government-issued ID (such as a passport or driver’s license) along with a selfie for verification. Key details: → The change is part of an updated appeals process for accounts that risk being banned → Verification will be handled by a third-party service called Persona → Anthropic says this will only apply to a small subset of users, not everyone → The move comes amid increasing regulatory and government pressure on AI companies This marks one of the more direct steps by a major AI lab to tie user identity to account access. Polymarket has a 29% chance the next Mythos-Class model will be released by the end of July. #Claude #IDVerification #Anthropic #Security #AI
