Claude has become the top downloaded app in Apple's App Store, marking a major milestone for the AI tool as it gains traction with general consumers.
The surge in downloads comes just after the Pentagon blacklisted Anthropic, the company behind Claude. Anthropic refused to allow the Pentagon to use the tool for autonomous weapons or the surveillance of U.S. citizens.
