Anthropic in Hot Water With Trump Admin Over Botched Comms
AI startup Anthropic reportedly fumbled communications with the Trump administration, drawing sharp criticism over a cyber executive order.
Anthropic has landed back in the Trump administration's crosshairs — and this time the frustration is pointed. According to Axios, sources say the AI company has repeatedly struggled to communicate effectively with the administration.
The tension escalated after Anthropic allegedly failed to follow through on commitments related to a cybersecurity executive order. One administration official didn't mince words, saying the company "screwed us" by not honoring the EO.
This isn't Anthropic's first clash with the current White House. The company has apparently developed a pattern of miscommunication that's wearing thin on officials who expect cooperation from major AI players.
For a company positioning itself as the "responsible AI" leader, bungling government relations is a bad look. Washington's patience with Silicon Valley has limits — and Anthropic seems to be testing them.
