The U.S. Department of Defense, led by Secretary Pete Hegseth, met with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to discuss the military use of the AI model Claude. The Pentagon is considering labeling Anthropic a 'supply chain risk' due to the company's refusal to permit its technology for mass surveillance and autonomous weapon development.
