Anthropic has filed with the Federal Election Commission to create AnthroPAC, a political action committee funded by its employees. This development occurs as the company faces disputes with the Trump administration over the potential military applications of its AI system, Claude. Anthropic has resisted Pentagon demands to remove safeguards that prevent the system's use in mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons. In March, Anthropic sued the federal government after being labeled a national security supply chain risk, a designation that has been temporarily suspended by a court. The move to establish AnthroPAC aligns Anthropic with other tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, which have similar PACs. In 2026, Anthropic also contributed $20 million to Public First Action, supporting AI safety initiatives.
