US Commerce chief says Anthropic back on 'right side' with Trump, Axios reports

The U.S. Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, stated that Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company, is now aligned with the Trump administration, according to Axios. This follows a legal dispute where U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had previously restricted Anthropic from certain military contracts due to the company's refusal to permit the use of its Claude AI models for domestic surveillance or autonomous weapons. A U.S. judge ruled in favor of Anthropic on August 27 regarding its conflict with the military over AI safety on the battlefield. Anthropic and the Commerce Department have not yet responded to Reuters' request for comments. Meanwhile, Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown emphasized the significance of data centers during a tech-focused G20 event in North Carolina.
