In a major shift in federal technology policy, President Donald Trump has issued a directive ordering all federal agencies to cease the use of Anthropic AI models. The executive action follows a reported dispute between the White House and the Pentagon regarding the AI startup’s safety protocols. Administration officials have labeled the AI’s ‘Constitutional AI’ framework as ‘woke,’ arguing that its ethical guardrails and safety filters interfere with national security objectives and operational efficiency. The dispute reached a boiling point after defense analysts complained that the AI refused to provide certain tactical data due to built-in ethical constraints. The order requires agencies, including the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, to transition to alternative providers that prioritize ‘unfiltered performance’ over social alignment. This move is expected to significantly impact the market landscape for generative AI, as Anthropic had previously secured several high-profile government contracts.
