Anthropic, a leading AI company, has hired Ballard Partners, a prominent Washington lobbying firm with ties to the Trump administration, amid escalating tensions with the Pentagon. The move follows the Pentagon’s recent designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk, signaling a strategic push to influence policy and mitigate regulatory threats. Ballard Partners, the largest lobbying firm in Washington, was retained just days after the Pentagon’s decision, according to a recent lobbying disclosure filing. The hiring underscores Anthropic’s growing focus on federal advocacy as it navigates national security concerns and potential restrictions on its AI technology. This development highlights the intensifying intersection of AI innovation, defense policy, and political lobbying in the U.S. tech sector.
