President Trump ordered all federal agencies to immediately cease using Anthropic's AI technology, declaring it a national security risk. This directive follows Anthropic's refusal to permit its AI models for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, leading the Pentagon to designate the company a supply chain risk.

The order includes a six-month phase-out period for current users. In contrast, OpenAI secured a deal with the Pentagon, agreeing to prohibitions on similar applications. The dispute highlights tensions between ethical commitments of AI firms and national defense needs, with implications for future tech industry partnerships.
