Following disagreements over the use of the \u201cClaude\u201d AI for surveillance and autonomous weaponry, President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies to stop using the company\u2019s tech in March.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Defense has since labeled Anthropic a <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/anthropic-sues-us-government-over-ai-blacklist\/\" target=\"_blank\">supply chain risk<\/a>, a move the company is currently challenging in court. While Ellis did not name the firm specifically, he suggested the agency must remain independent of private sector limitations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot allow the whims of a single company to constrain our capabilities,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>The agency is also looking at digital assets as a frontier for national security. Ellis previously mentioned in May that the CIA tracks blockchain data to assist in counterintelligence, viewing cryptocurrency as a vital part of the technological race against China.<\/p>\n<p>The push for better tech is largely driven by a need to maintain an edge over Beijing. Ellis pointed out that the technological lead the U.S. once held has shrunk.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFive to ten years ago, China was nowhere near America, in terms of technological innovation. That\u2019s just not true today,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/cia-adopts-ai-co-workers-to-help-analysts-spot-spies-and-predict-hostile-moves\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CIA plans to integrate specialized artificial intelligence into its primary analytics tools to help officers track foreign spies and predict hostile actions from abroad.
