Svmuu News Anthropic has introduced an identity verification mechanism for certain use cases of Claude to prevent abuse, enforce usage policies, and fulfill legal obligations. This process is powered by Persona, requiring users to submit a government-issued photo ID and potentially undergo a real-time selfie verification.
Anthropic stated that the verification data is solely used for identity confirmation, not for model training, and will not be used for marketing or advertising. If verification fails, users can retry multiple times within the process or submit a form to request manual assistance. Accounts may be banned for repeated violations of usage policies or terms of service, registration from unsupported regions, or use by individuals under 18 years old.
