Anthropic CEO criticizes Pentagon's "supply chain risk" order blocking military contractors

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has pushed back against a United States Defense Department move that designates the company as a "supply chain risk," barring military contractors from using its AI products. Amodei said his firm opposes applications such as mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons but supports other U.S. government use cases, while rival OpenAI has accepted a Defense Department contract to deploy its models on military networks.
