The Pentagon has labeled AI company Anthropic a supply chain risk, effective immediately. This decision follows accusations from President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth that Anthropic endangers national security. The Trump administration's action could force government contractors to cease using Anthropic's Claude chatbot. The move comes after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei refused to concede to concerns that the company's AI could be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons. The announcement shuts down further negotiation with Anthropic.
