President Donald Trump has blacklisted Anthropic over its pushback against the use of its tech for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has formally designated artificial intelligence firm Anthropic a “supply-chain risk to national security,” following President Donald Trump’s order to blacklist the company across the federal government.
Hegseth announced the decision Friday, accusing the company of attempting to impose ideological constraints on US military operations after Anthropic refused to remove safeguards limiting the use of its artificial intelligence systems for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons.
“Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military,” Hegseth said in a statement posted on social media. “That is unacceptable… The Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every lawful purpose in defense of the Republic.”
