Washington – The Computer & Communications Industry Association joined BSA, SIIA and TechNet in a joint letter to the White House about its dispute with Anthropic and the risks to U.S. technology leadership. The letter said the tech industry appreciates the Administration promoting US leadership in AI, and noted that “designating any one American company as a supply chain risk will inevitably lead to unintended consequences that could very well undermine the Administration’s broader goals to ensure American leadership.”
The following can be attributed to CCIA President and CEO Matt Schruers:
“Mixing US businesses into processes targeting foreign adversaries will hinder US technology competitiveness. To maintain AI leadership, US firms need clear process and business certainty. Construing procurement law as a sanction mechanism won’t foster either.”
