Stop to the use of Anthropic in federal agencies

Former President Donald Trump has issued a peremptory order banning U.S. federal agencies from using the services offered by Anthropic. The decision came after disagreements with the Department of Defense (Pentagon).

"We don't need it, we don't want it, and will not do business with them again," Trump said in a public post, explaining his choice.

The news highlights how political decisions can quickly influence relationships between the public sector and technology companies, even in the field of artificial intelligence. It remains to be seen what the long-term consequences of this stance will be for Anthropic and for the technological procurement strategies of the federal government.
