The U.S. Department of Defense labeled AI lab Anthropic as an "unacceptable risk to national security," citing concerns that the company might disable or alter its models during warfighting operations if its corporate "red lines" are crossed. Anthropic, which signed a $200 million Pentagon contract last summer, sued to block the DoD's supply‑chain risk designation, arguing the move infringes on its First Amendment rights. Legal experts say the DoD’s justification relies on speculative assumptions, and numerous tech firms and rights groups have filed amicus briefs supporting Anthropic. Leer más

ByteDance has halted the worldwide rollout of its AI video generator Seedance 2.0 following immediate pushback from Hollywood studios. After its debut in China, the tool sparked cease-and-desist letters from Disney and Paramount Skydance and drew attention for a viral AI-created clip featuring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. Concerns over the use of copyrighted material in training the model prompted ByteDance to say it is "taking steps to strengthen current safeguards as we work to prevent the unauthorised use of intellectual property and likeness by users." The company’s global expansion plans remain on hold pending further clarification. Leer más

The U.S. Department of War has, for the first time, labeled San Francisco‑based AI firm Anthropic and its Claude models a supply‑chain risk, forcing defense contractors to certify they do not use the technology. Anthropic objected, citing concerns over mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons, and announced plans to challenge the designation in court. The move comes amid reports that the military continues to employ Claude through third‑party systems, sparking industry backlash, a contrasting OpenAI deal with the Pentagon, and debate over the precedent set for domestic tech firms.

The U.S. Department of Defense has officially labeled Anthropic, the creator of the Claude AI model, as a supply‑chain risk after negotiations over the company's use restrictions collapsed. The designation bars defense contractors from using Claude in any government work and threatens to cancel contracts for firms that engage with Anthropic commercially. Anthropic’s CEO said the department’s action is legally unsound and the company will contest it in court. The dispute centers on Anthropic’s refusal to allow the Pentagon to employ Claude for autonomous lethal weapons without human oversight and for mass surveillance, raising questions about private control of government‑grade AI.

Industry leaders, legal experts, and policy analysts are debating the legality and potential precedent of the designation, while companies that work with both the Pentagon and Anthropic are left uncertain about their future relationships.
