Major U.S. defense contractors, led by Lockheed Martin, are moving to eliminate Anthropic’s AI tools from their supply chains following a federal ban and a national security risk designation by the Pentagon.

The U.S. Department of Defense has launched an inquiry into defense contractors' reliance on Anthropic, following the AI firm's refusal to lift restrictions on military applications of its technology. This move could lead to Anthropic being designated a 'supply chain risk,' potentially forcing major contractors like Boeing and Lockheed Martin to pivot their AI strategies.
