US draws up strict new AI guidelines amid Anthropic clash: FT

The Trump administration has drawn up strict rules for civilian artificial intelligence contracts that would require AI companies to allow “any lawful” use of their models amid a stand-off between the Pentagon and Anthropic, the Financial Times ‌reported on ⁠Friday.

The ⁠report comes a day after the Pentagon formally designated Anthropic a “supply-chain risk” and barred government contractors from using the AI firm’s technology in work for the U.S. military. That move followed a months-long dispute over the company’s insistence on safeguards that the Defense Department says went too ⁠far.
