Shared overview

The Pentagon has designated AI firm Anthropic as a supply-chain risk, a move the company says it will legally challenge. Reports note the label is the first of its kind for a U.S. company and came days after CEO Dario Amodei circulated criticisms of the Trump administration and other AI firms.
