Government Agencies Face Six-Month Phase Out Period Amid Pentagon Dispute

President Donald Trump has ordered federal agencies to immediately cease using technology developed by artificial intelligence firm Anthropic, following the company’s refusal to remove internal guardrails on its AI model. The Pentagon had demanded the removal of these guardrails to allow for the use of Anthropic’s AI in lethal autonomous operations, but the company refused, citing concerns about the potential misuse of its technology. The government will undergo a six-month phase out period, during which Anthropic has been warned to comply with the Pentagon’s demands or face consequences.
