The Pentagon cut ties with Anthropic due to its artificial intelligence models causing it to pollute the US military's supply chain. Emil Michael, the War Department's chief technology officer, stated that Anthropic's Claude AI chatbot was trained using a different ideology from what the Pentagon wants for its systems. Anthropic is currently suing the Pentagon after it was formally labeled a "supply chain risk" by the government, a designation typically reserved for foreign entities. Michael denied allegations that the Trump administration has been instructing companies outside the defense sector not to work with them. The company's CEO, Dario Amodei, accused the Pentagon of targeting Anthropic because it had not given the president "dictator-style praise".
