Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has declared artificial intelligence company Anthropic a "supply chain risk to national security," according to CBS News.
This decision marks an extraordinary rebuke against one of the premier AI companies that has been crucial to maintaining US leadership in national security-critical AI.
The conflict began after Anthropic placed guardrails on the Pentagon's use of its AI technology, leading to heated public disputes.
This comes amid a broader shift in US military AI policy, with the Pentagon turning to OpenAI after banning Anthropic.
