The Pentagon has formally notified AI company Anthropic that it is deemed a “supply chain risk,” a rare designation that critics say is typically aimed at adversary-linked technology. The move follows a breakdown in negotiations over whether the U.S. military can use Anthropic’s Claude models for all lawful purposes, versus contractual limits the company says are needed to prevent fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance.
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth expressed support for the September 2 second strike on a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean. The decision has sparked debate over the killing of survivors. Hegseth said he would have made the same call himself.
