Pentagon threatens to cut off Anthropic in AI safeguards dispute, Axios reports
The Pentagon demands unrestricted AI use for military purposes, but Anthropic resists, risking the partnership despite Claude aiding in a high-profile military operation, officials said.
- Axios reported on Saturday that the Pentagon is weighing ending its relationship with Anthropic over the company’s insistence on keeping some restrictions on military use of its models.
- The Pentagon is pressing four AI companies to allow military use for ‘all lawful purposes’, but Anthropic has not agreed after months of talks, prompting Pentagon frustration.
- Claude’s operational use contrasts with Anthropic’s policy stance, as the company said talks with the Pentagon focused on usage limits, not specific operations involving Claude.
- Discussions center on making models available on classified networks while addressing usage limits such as fully autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, which companies including Anthropic have raised as policy red lines.
