US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said AI giant Anthropic
is "back on the right side" with the Trump administration, Axios
reported on Wednesday citing an interview.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had blocked Anthropic from
certain military contracts because the company refused to allow the US to use
its Claude AI models for domestic surveillance or autonomous weapons. Anthropic
sued in California court.
On 27 August, a US judge sided with Anthropic in the
company's fight with the American military over AI safety on the battlefield.
Anthropic and the Commerce Department did not immediately
respond to requests for comment from Reuters. Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown
appeared on stage at a tech-focused G20 event in North Carolina on Wednesday
morning. Brown stressed the importance of data centers at the gathering, urging
the gathered officials to grant permits to build them in their countries.
