Anthropic briefed the House Homeland Security Committee behind closed doors as a Pentagon court filing on March 17 warned that the company’s large number of foreign nationals — reportedly including many from the People’s Republic of China — create "adversarial" supply‑chain risks because they could be compelled under China’s National Intelligence Law. The filing contrasts Anthropic with other labs even as the Defense Department continues to use its tools and may extend off‑boarding deadlines; Axios also notes industry recognition of Anthropic’s operational‑security measures (including disrupting an alleged Chinese cyber‑espionage campaign and banning PRC users) and that a hearing on its request for temporary relief is set for March 24.
