The Department of Defense is a U.S. government entity that has recently been involved in disputes with AI companies over technology access and usage. In 2026, the DoD designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk and attempted to ban the government from using its models, though a federal judge ruled the administration lacked sufficient evidence for the ban after Anthropic refused to allow its AI for mass surveillance and lethal weapons targeting without restrictions. The DoD also manages AI token access for military personnel, including the Ask Sage platform used by the Army, which exhausted its allocated token budget within weeks in mid-2026 despite an initial announcement of unlimited access to roughly 1.75 million employees.
