Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was set to hold a high-stakes meeting with Anthropic boss Dario Amodei on Tuesday as they have been trying to navigate rising tensions over military use of the Claude AI chatbot. The meeting was scheduled to come just days after reports surfaced that Hegseth was “close” to designating Anthropic as a supply chain threat. That would effectively blacklist Anthropic, voiding its contracts and forcing other firms that do business with the US military to stop using Claude.
