Trump Orders All Federal Agencies to Phase Out Use of Anthropic Technology

Anthropic, maker of the AI chatbot Claude, refused the Pentagon's demand to allow unrestricted military use of its technology, citing concerns about safeguards against mass surveillance and autonomous weapons (systems that make decisions without human control). President Trump ordered all federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's technology in response, escalating a public dispute within the AI industry about balancing national security needs with AI safety protections.
