The tech firm has resisted the War Department’s demand to lift limits on surveillance and autonomous weapons

President Donald Trump has ordered federal agencies to halt the use of artificial intelligence systems developed by Anthropic, escalating an unprecedented confrontation between the US government and one of Silicon Valley’s most influential AI firms over military use of advanced algorithms.

In a post published Friday on Truth Social, Trump accused the company of attempting to “dictate how our great military fights and wins wars,” announcing an immediate government-wide blacklist alongside a six-month phase-out period for agencies currently relying on its technology.

“I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology,” Trump wrote.
