Pentagon Official Challenges Anthropic's AI Restrictions

U.S. Defense Undersecretary Emil Michael says his dispute with Anthropic arose from talks over using the company's Claude AI in fully autonomous weapons and President Trump's planned Golden Dome missile defense program. The Pentagon designated Anthropic a supply-chain risk, cutting off defense work and prompting Anthropic to vow legal action while the White House ordered a six-month phaseout of Claude.
