In a significant move, President Donald Trump has ordered all federal agencies to cease using Anthropic’s AI technology following a dispute with the Pentagon over the use of AI in military applications. The Pentagon, led by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, has designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk, preventing any contractor or partner from doing business with the company. The conflict centers on Anthropic’s refusal to allow unrestricted military use of its AI, particularly in surveillance and autonomous weapons, citing ethical concerns. The decision has drawn criticism from advocacy groups concerned about its impact on innovation and market dynamics.
