Trump orders federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's AI technology

President Donald Trump has directed all federal agencies to immediately stop using artificial intelligence technology from the company Anthropic. The order calls for a complete phase-out of the company's systems, including a reported six-month transition period for some existing uses.

The directive follows a reported standoff between Anthropic and the Pentagon, where the Defense Department and other agencies have already moved to blacklist the company's Claude AI system. The dispute appears to center on differing views about AI safety and ethics standards.
