Donald Trump has ordered all federal agencies to begin phasing out the use of Anthropic technology, following the company’s unusually public dispute with the Pentagon over artificial intelligence safety.
The directive from Trump came just over an hour before the Pentagon’s deadline for Anthropic to permit unrestricted military use of its AI technology or face severe repercussions. This followed nearly 24 hours after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated his company "cannot in good conscience accede" to the Defense Department's demands. Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding Trump's remarks.
