The order includes a six-month phase-out period specifically for the Defense Department, which has been using Anthropic’s products “at various levels.” The conflict centers on Anthropic’s refusal to comply with Pentagon demands for unrestricted access to the company’s AI models. Anthropic has maintained strict ethical guidelines, requiring assurances that its technology will not be used for fully autonomous weapons systems or mass domestic surveillance of American citizens.
