Sen. Warren questions DOD about Anthropic blacklist that 'appears to be retaliation'

Senator Elizabeth Warren is questioning the Department of Defense's decision to blacklist AI company Anthropic as a "supply chain risk," calling it retaliation after the company refused to let the DOD use its AI models for fully autonomous weapons or domestic mass surveillance. Anthropic has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, while OpenAI has secured a DOD contract despite similar concerns from lawmakers about whether safeguards exist to prevent the technology from being used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons.
