š„ What happened
Anthropic launched the "Cyber Mission," deploying Claude into power grids, water systems, and open-source code. Founding partners include CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Rockwell Automation, and nine other heavyweights.
š” Why it matters
Operational technology runs for decades without patching ā one mistake can take down a plant. Anthropic is sending engineers on-site, not just API keys. This is the first real frontier-lab push into OT security.
ā” Our take
Smart move: whoever secures the infrastructure writes the rules for AI in critical systems. But whether Claude can safely patch a PLC is still unproven.
