Summary
The US Defense Department has officially labeled Anthropic (maker of Claude, an AI assistant) a 'supply-chain risk,' which will prevent defense contractors from using Claude in products made for the government. This escalates a dispute between the Pentagon and Anthropic over their policies on acceptable uses of the AI, and may lead to legal action.
