[Pentagon Threatens to Penalize AI Company Anthropic] According to Jinshi reports, a senior Pentagon official stated that U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth is 'about to' sever commercial ties with Anthropic and designate the AI company as a 'supply chain risk.' This means that anyone wishing to do business with the U.S. military must cut ties with the company. Anthropic's Claude is currently the only AI model available within the U.S. military's classified systems and is a world leader in many commercial application fields. Pentagon officials have highly praised Claude's capabilities. However, the Pentagon accuses Anthropic of imposing stringent restrictions on how the U.S. Department of Defense can use its tools, including efforts to ensure that its tools are not used for mass surveillance of Americans or for developing weapons that can be launched without human intervention.
