Washington — President Trump announced Friday that he is ordering all federal agencies to “immediately” stop using Anthropic’s AI technology, as the company nears a Pentagon deadline to drop its guardrails over the military’s use of its AI.
“I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology,” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again!”
The president said he will give agencies six months to phase out its use of Anthropic’s products and threatened to take additional action against the company if it does not assist during that period.
“Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow,” he wrote.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
