Pentagon Instructs Boeing and Lockheed Martin to Assess AI Vendor Dependencies

Deep News

Feb 26

According to informed sources, the U.S. Department of Defense is engaging with defense contractors to evaluate their reliance on services provided by artificial intelligence lab Anthropic. The AI company must respond by Friday to comply with the government's request.

Reports emerged earlier on Wednesday indicating that the Pentagon has directed defense contractors Boeing and Lockheed Martin to assess their respective dependencies on Anthropic. This move represents initial steps toward potentially designating the AI company as a "supply chain risk."

This development follows reports from the previous day that Anthropic has no plans to relax its usage restrictions in military applications. Discussions about future collaboration between the company and the Pentagon continue following a meeting between Anthropic's CEO and U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks.

A Lockheed Martin spokesperson confirmed: "Lockheed Martin has received correspondence from the U.S. Department of Defense requesting an assessment of our business exposure and dependency on Anthropic, ahead of a potential supply chain risk designation by the Department of Defense."
