Scoop: White House readies executive order to weed out Anthropic
The Bottom Line
The White House is preparing an executive order to remove Anthropic's AI from federal government operations.
The White House is reportedly preparing an executive order to direct federal agencies to remove Anthropic's AI from government operations, according to sources cited by Axios. This action would escalate the administration's dispute with Anthropic, which is currently suing the Pentagon over a supply chain risk designation. The administration asserts that Anthropic's "safeguards" present a national security risk, while Anthropic's lawsuit argues the administration lacks authority to blacklist a U.S. company over protected speech. This potential executive order would formalize a broader effort to offboard Anthropic's AI, following President Trump's statements against "woke" AI. The order could be issued this week and represents an unusual move against a specifically named U.S. company outside standard procurement processes.
