Pentagon Orders Removal of Anthropic AI from DoD Systems Within 180 Days
The Defense Department has directed senior leaders to purge Anthropic AI products, including Claude, from all DoD systems within 180 days after designating Anthropic a supply‑chain risk, affecting key national security operations such as nuclear weapons, ballistic missile defense and cyber warfare; exemptions are allowed only for mission-critical uses with a detailed risk-mitigation plan. Anthropic has sued the government, and OpenAI has a Pentagon deal.
