The development comes as Anthropic is at loggerheads with the Donald Trump administration after the government restricted the rollout of the company's most advanced models and designated it as a risk to the national supply chain.
“AI should not replace the human work of government,” Newsom said in a statement regarding his Anthropic deal. “It should help our workers move faster, solve problems more effectively, and deliver better results for Californians.”
