Microsoft, Google, Amazon say Anthropic Claude remains available to non-defense customers

The U.S. Department of Defense designated Anthropic (maker of Claude AI) as a supply-chain risk after the company refused to provide unrestricted access for military applications like mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. Microsoft, Google, and AWS confirmed that Claude will remain available to non-defense customers through their platforms, and the designation only restricts direct Department of Defense use, not broader commercial applications.
