Anthropic has submitted a filing to the FEC to establish a politically active committee funded by employees, AnthroPAC. According to Odaily Planet Daily, this move comes as the company is in a dispute with the Trump administration regarding the military use of Claude. Previously, Anthropic rejected the Pentagon's request to remove protections that prevent the system from being used for mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons. In March of this year, Anthropic sued the federal government for being designated as a national security supply chain risk, and recently a court ruled to suspend that designation. Currently, tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon have also established similar PACs. Additionally, in 2026, Anthropic donated $20 million to the organization Public First Action, which supports AI safety guarantees.
