Summary
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) wrote to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticizing the DoD’s decision to label Anthropic, an AI lab, a “supply chain risk.” Warren argued that the Pentagon could have simply terminated its contract with Anthropic instead of taking this action, which she sees as retaliation. The senator’s letter was in response to the DoD’s decision, according to Defense One.
Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious.
The Pentagon labels Anthropic a “supply chain risk.” Senator Warren calls it retaliation. The DoD could have just ended the contract. Instead, it’s a “supply chain risk.” Because that’s a thing now. The Pentagon’s move is more politics than policy.
