Anthropic Calls Pentagon 'Supply Chain Risk' Label Legally Unsound After Talks Collapse

The US Department of Defense moved toward labeling Anthropic a supply chain risk in late February 2026, according to Wired reporting. The designation followed the breakdown of negotiations between the Pentagon and Anthropic over military use of Claude models. The dispute centers on Anthropic's use policies, which restrict how its AI can be deployed in certain military contexts, particularly those involving lethal autonomous decisions. Anthropic responded publicly, calling any potential blacklisting legally unsound and pushing back on the characterization of its technology as a security risk.
