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

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei rejects Pentagon's demand to remove AI safeguards to prevent mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons, risking contract loss and supply-chain risk designation.

  • 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.
