The Pentagon formally designated AI company Anthropic a "supply chain risk" on March 5, citing concerns that its Claude model's built-in ethical guidelines could compromise defense applications. Anthropic announced it would challenge the designation in court, with CEO Dario Amodei stating the company had "no choice" but to pursue legal action against the Trump administration's decision. The blacklisting contradicted the Pentagon's previous reliance on Anthropic's technology and prompted industry experts to raise concerns about the precedent set for AI companies in the defense sector.
