The Trump administration on Thursday announced that it is designating the artificial intelligence<\/a> company Anthropic as a supply chain risk.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon<\/a> said in a statement that it “officially informed Anthropic leadership that the company and its products are deemed a supply chain risk, effective immediately.”<\/p>\n

The “supply-chain risk” label forces government contractors to discontinue<\/a> use of Anthropic’s AI chatbot Claude in their work for the US<\/a> military.<\/p>\n

“We do not believe this action is legally sound, and we see no choice but to challenge it in court,”\u00a0\u00a0CEO Dario Amodei said in the statement.<\/p>\n

Firms can, however, still use Anthropic’s \u2060AI in other projects unrelated to the Pentagon, CEO Dario Amodei said in the statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is the dispute between Anthropic and the Pentagon about?<\/h2>\n

The move by the Pentagon comes a week after US President Donald Trump<\/a> and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accused the company of posing a risk to national security.<\/p>\n

How AI is being used in war in 2026<\/h2>\n

The decision follows monthslong dispute over the safety restrictions<\/a> embedded in Claude that limit\u00a0its use in war-gaming scenarios.<\/p>\n

Anthropic was ahead of its rivals in courting US national-security officials. But the \u200bcompany and the Pentagon have been embroiled in a dispute for \u2060months over how the military can use the company’s technology on the battlefield<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amodei said the Pentagon and Anthropic have \u200btalked about how Claude<\/a> \u200cmight still work with the military without dismantling its safeguards.<\/p>\n

However, in a post on X late Thursday, Pentagon Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael said there is no active Department of Defense negotiation with Anthropic.<\/p>\n

What did the Pentagon and Anthropic say?<\/h2>\n

The Pentagon statement said, “This has been about one fundamental principle: the military being able to use technology for all lawful purposes. The military will not allow a vendor to insert itself into the chain of command by restricting the lawful use of a critical capability and putting our warfighters at risk.”<\/p>\n

Amodei countered that the narrow exceptions Anthropic sought to limit surveillance<\/a> and autonomous weapons “relate to high-level usage areas, and not operational decision-making.”<\/p>\n
