Anthropic CEO says company cannot accede to Pentagon's request in AI safeguards dispute

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei maintains refusal to allow AI use in fully autonomous weapons or mass surveillance during ongoing Pentagon talks.

  • Anthropic refused the Pentagon's request to remove AI safeguards that prevent autonomous weapon targeting and surveillance in the US, risking a $200 million contract.
  • The Pentagon threatened to deem Anthropic a 'supply chain risk' and invoke the Defense Production Act to force removal of the safeguards if Anthropic did not comply by the deadline.
  • Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated they cannot 'in good conscience' remove the safeguards despite the Pentagon's threats, willing to transition to another provider if necessary.
