By Kali Hays – Technology reporter in San Francisco; Daniel Bush – Washington correspondent, BBC News
The US Department of Defence is no longer using Anthropic’s AI tools, an official has told the BBC, months after it designated the company a supply chain risk on national security grounds.
The Pentagon “has ceased the use of Anthropic products”, the department official said in a statement on Monday.
Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth labelled Anthropic a supply chain risk in February, and announced that the Pentagon would stop using it by late August. It is not clear why there has been a delay.
