The US Department of Defense is on a collision course with Anthropic, which can prove bad news for the AI company. In keeping with political website, The Hill, the DoD is currently examining the terms of its relationship.
The problem is that Anthropic is holding an ethical line on the usage of its Claude model and desires to be certain that its tools aren’t used to develop weaponry that fires without human input and that they aren’t used for mass surveillance of Americans.
But this has not been met with favor by the Pentagon. “The Department of War’s relationship with Anthropic is being reviewed. Our nation requires that our partners be willing to assist our warfighters win in any fight. Ultimately, that is about our troops and the security of the American people,” chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell told The.
