Elizabeth Warren calls Pentagon’s decision to bar Anthropic ‘retaliation’

Sen. Elizabeth Warren accused the Department of Defense of retaliating against AI lab Anthropic by labeling it a "supply chain risk," arguing the Pentagon could have simply terminated its contract. The dispute raises political and contracting risk around defense AI procurement and could increase regulatory and reputational scrutiny for Anthropic and similar AI providers, but it is unlikely to move markets materially in the near term.
