A tech industry group, whose members include Nvidia
and Anthropic, sent a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Wednesday expressing concern over his designating a U.S. company a supply chain risk.
The letter, written by the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), doesn’t name Anthropic, though the artificial intelligence company was given that label on Friday after failing to come to terms with the Defense Department.
“We are concerned by recent reports regarding the Department of War’s consideration of imposing a supply chain risk designation in response to a procurement dispute,” ITI wrote in the letter.
