Anthropic back on 'right side' with Trump administration, U.S. Commerce secretary says
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said AI giant Anthropic is “back on the right side” with the Trump administration
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick declared AI firm Anthropic to be "back on the right side" with the Trump administration, as reported by Axios on Wednesday. This suggests a potential improvement in the strained relationship between the two entities. Lutnick made this statement following a recent U.S. court ruling favoring Anthropic in its dispute with the American military regarding AI safety on the battlefield.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had previously blocked Anthropic from securing certain military contracts, citing Anthropic's refusal to permit the use of its Claude AI models for domestic surveillance or in the creation of autonomous weapons. Anthropic subsequently filed a lawsuit in a California court. However, Anthropic has not yet responded to inquiries from Reuters.
