Pentagon Labels AI Firm Anthropic a National Security Threat

(MENAFN) US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has officially identified artificial intelligence company Anthropic as a “supply-chain risk to national security,” following a presidential directive from Donald Trump to blacklist the firm across federal agencies.

Hegseth announced the designation on Friday, accusing the company of attempting to impose ideological restrictions on US military operations after it declined to remove safeguards that limit the use of its AI systems for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons.

“Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military,” Hegseth said in a statement posted on social media. “That is unacceptable... The Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every lawful purpose in defense of the Republic.”
