Dow Jones03-19 22:58
1058 ET - Pentagon staffers tell Reuters they are hesitant to stop using Anthropic's AI tools, despite Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's designation of the company as a supply-chain risk. The military users see Anthropic's tools as better and more reliable than alternatives and sources tell Reuters that Anthropic's Claude remains in use by the military. The process of switching to alternatives could be time-consuming and costly. Some staff are slow-walking the replacement of Claude because they are still actively using it to create series of automated tasks and are betting on the Pentagon at some point reinstating use of Anthropic's tools, Reuters reports.
