Pentagon summons Anthropic chief in dispute over AI limits

Amid intense pressure from the Trump administration, Pentagon officials have summoned the CEO of artificial intelligence company Anthropic to Washington for a meeting on Tuesday to discuss how its technology is used on classified systems.
The Defense Department and Anthropic agreed to a $200 million pilot contract last year. But a Jan. 9 memo by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calling on AI companies to remove restrictions on their technology led the two sides to renegotiate their contract.
