By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Change.org is investing approximately $100 million to rebuild its petition platform using AI, according to Axios. This investment comes after a 2021 restructuring that moved the organization to a nonprofit status, with previous investors including Reid Hoffman and Sam Altman donating their shares. Meanwhile, the US Department of Defense has ceased using AI tools from Anthropic, citing national security concerns after designating the company a supply chain risk. AI

IMPACT Change.org's AI investment could set a precedent for other large platforms, while the Pentagon's action highlights growing national security concerns around AI supply chains.
