Anthropic Responds to Department of War Supply Chain Risk Designation
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei issued a public statement after the U.S. Department of War formally designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk to national security, confirming the company will challenge the designation in court. Amodei clarified that the designation under 10 USC 3252 has narrow scope, affecting only direct use of Claude within Department of War contracts rather than all customers with such contracts. Anthropic committed to continuing to provide models to the Department of War and national security community at nominal cost during any transition period, while reiterating its two narrow usage exceptions: fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance. Amodei also apologized for a leaked internal post written on a difficult day, characterizing it as out-of-date and not reflecting his considered views.
Anthropic Resists DoD 'Supply Chain Risk' Designation Over Autonomous Weapons and Mass Surveillance Exceptions
Anthropic has issued a public statement responding to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's announcement that the Department of War intends to designate Anthropic a supply chain risk, following a breakdown in negotiations. The dispute centers on two exceptions Anthropic requested to Claude's use: mass domestic surveillance of Americans and fully autonomous weapons. Anthropic argues the designation is legally unsound under 10 USC 3252, would only affect DoW contract work rather than commercial customers, and pledges to challenge any formal designation in court. The company states it has supported US government classified networks since June 2024 and intends to continue all lawful national security uses.
