The Pentagon has labeled AI company Anthropic a “supply chain risk” after disagreements over the military use of its Claude AI technology. The dispute highlights growing tensions between ethical AI development, national security priorities, and the role of Silicon Valley in defense innovation.

Anthropic has once again declined a Pentagon proposal aimed at loosening restrictions on military use of its AI models, intensifying a high-stakes dispute that could reshape how advanced AI is deployed in national defense.

Anthropic has revised its flagship AI safety policy, adding flexibility to its commitment amid intensifying competition among top AI labs and rapid advances in model capabilities.

OpenAI has raised fresh concerns over the rapid pace of AI development, announcing the hiring of former Anthropic expert Dylan Scandinaro as Head of Preparedness to identify and mitigate emerging risks from powerful AI systems.

As AI systems move closer to outperforming humans across critical domains, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warns that society may be entering a dangerous phase of technological adolescence. His latest essay explores the unprecedented risks, economic disruption, and governance challenges posed by powerful AI.

The UK Government has partnered with Anthropic to pilot a next-generation, agentic AI assistant on GOV.UK. Powered by Claude, the system goes beyond traditional chatbots to guide citizens through complex, multi-step government services—starting with employment support—while prioritising safety, privacy, and responsible AI deployment.
