AI: Government vs Anthropic

does this make any sense?

The Government just blacklisted Anthropic... - YouTube by Matthew Berman

Core Issues and Disagreement

• Safety Constraints: Anthropic, known for focusing on AI safety, placed restrictions on its technology, prohibiting its use in "killer robots" (fully autonomous weapon systems) and for spying on American citizens.
• Pentagon Demands: The Department of Defense (DoD), led by Secretary Pete Hegseth, demanded unrestricted"free rein" to use the technology for "any lawful use" refusing to accept these safety guardrails.
• The Breakdown: Following negotiations, Anthropic refused to lift its safeguards, leading the Pentagon to deem the company a "supply chain risk"

Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War \ Anthropic

Two such use cases have never been included in our contracts with the Department of War, and we believe they should not be included now:

• Mass domestic surveillance
• Fully autonomous weapons
