Emil Michael, Chief Technology Officer of the U.S. Department of Defense, directly responded to former Anthropic engineer Jacob Coxon's AI warning post at a defense industry conference in Washington on Thursday, calling it a "doom loop" and "fear of data centers, fear of change." Michael also disclosed that the DoD has migrated approximately 90% of its classified AI workloads from Anthropic to other vendors, with the remaining portion expected to be fully transferred by the end of this month. He characterized the legal dispute between the DoD and Anthropic as a core controversy involving national security, and insisted that Anthropic still poses a U.S. supply chain risk, which sharply contrasts with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's earlier signal that "Anthropic has reconciled with the government."
