The Trump administration has issued an executive order banning Anthropic AI from federal use, classifying it as a national security risk following its refusal to grant unrestricted access to its models for military purposes. The Pentagon has since partnered with OpenAI for the deployment of its AI models within Department of Defense networks.

Anthropic intends to challenge this designation legally. Meanwhile, a coalition representing over 700,000 tech workers has urged major companies to follow Anthropic's stance against military contracts that compromise safety. The situation showcases the conflict between ethical AI development and national defense requirements.
