US Military Designates Anthropic Supply-Chain Risk

On March 5, 2026, the U.S. military formally designated AI firm Anthropic a supply-chain risk, sources and a senior Pentagon official told CBS News. The move follows an impasse over guardrails: Anthropic sought explicit bans on using its Claude model for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons, while the Pentagon insists it may use Claude for "all lawful purposes." The designation could sever Anthropic's military contracts.
