Trump administration officials disagree over Anthropic's status as 'supply chain risk'
Officials in the Trump Administration are showing signs of disagreement regarding artificial intelligence company Anthropic. Under Secretary of War Emil Michael stated on Thursday that Anthropic remains a “designated supply chain risk.” This classification could affect government contracts and partnerships with the firm. The statement by Michael suggests continued scrutiny over potential national security concerns tied to AI development at Anthropic, despite any internal discussions or policy shifts within the administration. The designation of companies as 'supply chain risks' typically involves assessments related to cybersecurity threats or foreign influence in critical infrastructure sectors like technology and defense.
