Rachel Greszler: DOW Boycott of AI Anthropic Could Backfire
Posted on by Tom Novak

Anthropic is an AI company that has provided services to the USA Department of War (DOW). Anthropic  also has a ‘strict’ policy as to how their product can be used, and war is not on their list.

Rachel Greszler, Senior Research Fellow in Economics and Workforce at Advancing American Freedom, explains the recent annnouncement by the Department of War requiring all DOW entities to stop the use of Anthropic. Additionally, the Trump Administration is calling for a federal goverment boycott of the AI-tool.

Rachel also dives a little deeper into the story by exploring a seconadary boycott, where DOW applies pressure on secondary vendors to stop using Anthropic, or lose their the contracts with DOW.
