President Trump Indicates Possible Deal with Anthropic for Defense AI Use
President Donald Trump has indicated that a deal with Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company, is 'possible' for use within the Department of Defense. This follows a period of tension where the Pentagon labeled Anthropic a supply chain risk, citing national security concerns. Despite this, recent discussions at the White House have been described as productive, with Anthropic's CEO meeting senior administration officials. The potential deal would involve Anthropic's AI models being utilized by the Department of Defense, marking a significant shift from previous stances.
