AI Military Use Debate Intensifies

Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of Defense, set deadline for Anthropic to open AI for military use or lose contract.
Pentagon demands military AI without ideological constraints, amid national security AI debate.
Amodei refused to allow autonomous targeting or domestic surveillance in Anthropic’s AI.
Pentagon could cancel contract, label Anthropic a supply-chain risk, or invoke Defense Production Act.
Anthropic aligns with Biden administration, hiring ex-Biden officials and adding Chris Liddell.
