Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei criticizes White House actions as punitive

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei criticized the Pentagon’s recent designation of the AI company as a “supply chain risk to national security,” calling it “retaliatory and punitive” after Anthropic refused to allow unfettered military access to its AI model, Claude.

Amodei emphasized the company’s commitment to American values and national security, while the Pentagon had previously given Anthropic a deadline to reach an agreement or lose government contracts.
