Anthropic’s Claude would ‘pollute’ defense supply chain: Pentagon CTO

The Pentagon's chief technology officer has effectively blacklisted Anthropic's Claude from U.S. defense contracts, warning that the AI system could "pollute" sensitive military supply chains — a stunning rebuke that signals deep government skepticism about trusting even leading AI companies with national security work. The rare public criticism raises the stakes in an already fraught debate over which artificial intelligence systems are safe enough for weapons development and military planning, while potentially reshaping the competitive landscape among AI makers vying for lucrative government contracts. The accusation suggests that fears about AI reliability and security have moved beyond theoretical concerns into the halls of the Pentagon itself.
