#Anthropic is rejecting the Pentagon’s latest offer to change their contract, saying the changes do not satisfy the company’s concerns that #AI could be used for mass #surveillance or in fully #AutonomousWeapons.
The #Pentagon & Anthropic are at odds over restrictions the company places on the use of #Claude, the first #AI system to be used in the #military #classified network.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/26/tech/anthropic-rejects-pentagon-offer?cid=ios_app#Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth told #Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Tuesday that if Anthropic does not allow its #AI model to be used “for all lawful purposes” [as if that’s what they plan to use it for], the #Pentagon would cancel Anthropic’s $200 million contract. In addition to the #contract cancellation, Anthropic would be deemed a “supply chain risk,” a classification normally reserved for companies connected to foreign adversaries, #Hegseth said.

#Anthropic said in a statement that the #Pentagon’s new language was framed as a compromise but “was paired with legalese that would allow those safeguards to be disregarded at will.” [shocker]
In a lengthy blog post Thursday, Amodei wrote: “I believe deeply in the existential importance of using #AI to defend the #UnitedStates & other democracies, & to defeat our autocratic adversaries.”

Amodei said #Anthropic understands that the #Pentagon, “not private companies, makes #military decisions.” But “in a narrow set of cases, we believe #AI can undermine, rather than defend, democratic values.” In the case of mass #surveillance & #AutonomousWeapons are “outside the bounds of what today’s technology can safely & reliably do.”

@Nonilex What the-
That's... actually correct... Since when does one of the "LLMs are AI" scam companies actually... say the right thing?
Am I in a coma and dreaming this?

As if Hegseth had even the most basic concept of what "lawful" even means.

@nazokiyoubinbou @Nonilex yesterday they replaced their commitment to building "safe ai" with a pledge that they would develop safe ai unless it interfered with their profits, so don't go crazy for them just yet:-)

@Amoshias @Nonilex I... literally called them a scam company.
Trust me, there is no danger of me ever going crazy for them. They're still running a very harmful scam that hurts us all.
Actually, that's my point. They're doing harm willingly and knowingly for money. For them to actually put their foot down on this is... weird and unexpected.
Maybe the regime just wasn't promising them enough money for it?

The setback comes as #AI leader #Anthropic raced to sell novel #technology to #business & #government, particularly for #NationalSecurity, ahead of its widely expected #IPO.
At the same time, the battle over #tech #guardrails had raised concerns that the #DoD would follow #US #law [certainly not this one] but little other constraint when deploying AI for national-security missions, regardless of #safety or #ethics service terms embraced by the technology's developers.

#Anthropic had sought guarantees that its #AI would not be used for fully #AutonomousWeapons or for mass #domestic #surveillance - applications in which the #Pentagon claimed it had no interest [wink wink nudge nudge].

Trump's Pentagon should work on multiple sourcing for all key products.
Btw, pretty sure there isn't a "Radical Left" vendor of any products for the Pentagon.

If the Nazis could, they would take over #anthropic.
But AI is an airplane constructed in flight, removing engineers, will lead to predictable results.
