Anthropic

Politico reports on tensions between the Trump administration and Anthropic over US artificial intelligence policy. The president had sought to accelerate AI development with a deregulatory push, but Anthropic's safety-focused stance has complicated that agenda. Commentators are debating what the standoff means for the future of AI regulation in Washington and the industry's relationship with the federal government.

A U.S. appeals court has upheld the government's designation of AI company Anthropic as a supply chain risk, a decision with implications for the Pentagon's ability to work with the firm. The ruling keeps Anthropic subject to restrictions affecting its eligibility for federal contracts and defense-related work, and the case is being closely followed across the AI industry and defense community.
