Anthropic labelled a supply chain risk by Pentagon
Summary
The US Pentagon has officially labeled Anthropic, an AI company, as a supply chain risk, marking the first time the government has given this designation to a US firm. This decision stems from Anthropic's refusal to give the military unrestricted access to its AI tools, citing concerns about mass surveillance and autonomous weapons development. The designation prohibits any company working with the military from conducting business with Anthropic.
