An artificial intelligence company has been labeled a national security threat by Pentagon officials, according to the firm’s top executive who spoke out Thursday.<\/p>

Dario Amodei, who leads Anthropic, revealed that his AI laboratory received official notification from the Department of War on March 4th regarding their new classification. The government letter informed the company it had been marked as a supply chain threat to the nation’s security interests.<\/p>

“Yesterday (March 4) Anthropic received a letter from the Department of War confirming that we have been designated as a supply chain risk to America’s national security,” Amodei stated.<\/p>

The CEO expressed strong disagreement with the Pentagon’s decision and announced plans to fight back through the legal system. “We do not believe this action is legally sound, and we see no choice but to challenge it in court,” he declared.<\/p>

The announcement came during Amodei’s public remarks on Thursday, marking the first time the company has disclosed receiving such a designation from defense officials.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
