Anthropic became Trump’s headache due to opposition to his AI policy

Post Thumbnail

Anthropic, developer of the advanced Claude chatbot, openly opposes the Trump administration’s large-scale bill, causing growing tension between the technology startup and the White House. Anthropic didn’t limit itself to public statements. The company actively lobbied among congressmen to vote against this initiative. To strip individual states of the right to independently regulate artificial intelligence technology development. But the confrontation goes beyond one bill. Anthropic previously opposed a strategic deal between the USA and Persian Gulf countries, under which America commits to supplying advanced technologies in exchange for large-scale investments. Such consistent opposition position turned Anthropic into a real headache for the current administration. White House staff consider it a serious mistake that the company hired former members of President Biden’s team. Although the startup also employs specialists with experience cooperating with Republicans. Adding fuel to the fire was a recent loud statement by Anthropic’s director that artificial intelligence will destroy 50% of jobs within the next 5 years. Such a forecast is perceived as politically inconvenient in the context of the new administration’s economic agenda. Interestingly, Anthropic’s strategy goes against the general trend in the artificial intelligence industry, where most technology companies strive to win favor with President Trump and his team. And Anthropic’s behavior strongly stands out from this picture.
