Pentagon and Anthropic Dispute Over AI Guarantees

U.S. Defense Department and Anthropic clash over waiving AI guarantees, affecting military use and surveillance.


Pentagon and Anthropic Dispute Over AI Guarantees

Three informed sources told Reuters that the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) and Anthropic, an artificial intelligence developer, are at odds over the possibility of waiving guarantees. This could allow the government to use its technology independently for weapons development and conduct internal surveillance in the United States. According to sources, the disagreement centers on the terms under which Anthropic provides access to its AI models. The Pentagon seeks greater flexibility, while the company is concerned about security and ethical implications. The dispute may impact cooperation in advanced technologies.
