London Mayor Sadiq Khan has invited the AI firm Anthropic to expand its operations in the city, responding to the Pentagon’s recent designation of the company as a supply chain risk due to its refusal to allow unrestricted access to its AI tools for U.S. defense agencies. Khan criticized the Trump administration’s actions as intimidation, emphasizing London’s potential as a more favorable location for Anthropic amid deteriorating relations with the U.S. government. Despite the Pentagon’s restrictions, Microsoft has stated it will continue to integrate Anthropic’s technology into its products, with the exception of applications for the Department of Defense.
