[Anthropic Applies to Establish AnthroPAC to Address Conflict with the Trump Administration] Odaily Planet Daily News: Anthropic has filed documents with the FEC to apply for the establishment of an employee-funded political action committee, AnthroPAC. This move comes as the company is in a dispute with the Trump administration over the use of Claude for military purposes. Previously, Anthropic rejected the Pentagon's request to remove safeguards that prevent the system from being used for mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons. In March of this year, Anthropic sued the federal government for designating it as a national security supply chain risk, and a court recently ruled to temporarily suspend the enforcement of this designation. Currently, tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon have all established similar PACs. Additionally, in 2026, Anthropic donated $20 million to Public First Action, an organization supporting AI safety initiatives.
