Trump Orders Immediate Halt on Anthropic Tech Across Federal Agencies
On February 27, 2024, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on social media that all federal agencies must immediately stop using technology developed by Anthropic.
Agencies that rely heavily on Anthropic’s tools, such as the Department of Defense, will be granted a six-month transition period to migrate to alternative systems.
- Migration must be completed within the transition window
- Anthropic is expected to fully cooperate
- Non-compliance could lead to legal action
Strong Warning to Anthropic
Trump warned that if the company refuses to comply during the transition, he will use his presidential authority to enforce compliance and hold the company accountable under civil and criminal law.
The directive has sparked widespread debate in tech and policy circles, with experts suggesting it could influence the future of AI regulation in the U.S.
