Pentagon labels Anthropic a supply chain risk
Change
The US Pentagon designated AI firm Anthropic a supply chain risk, effective immediately.
Why it matters
The designation is effective immediately. It is the first time a US company has been labelled a supply chain risk. Anthropic received a Defense Department letter designating it a risk and said the designation has a narrow scope. Anthropic has moved toward challenging the designation in court.
Implications
- • US government agencies are barred from using Anthropic under the supply chain risk designation.
Who is affected
- • US government procurement and IT/security teams evaluating AI tools
- • US defense agencies using AI tools
- • Anthropic legal and government-relations teams
