Anthropic 'made a mistake' in Pentagon talks and should 'correct course,' FCC boss says
Summary
Anthropic, an AI company, ended negotiations with the U.S. Department of Defense after refusing to allow its technology to be used for fully autonomous weapons (systems that make combat decisions without human control) or domestic mass surveillance. The U.S. government then blacklisted Anthropic, prohibiting it from working with federal agencies and Pentagon contractors, with government officials saying the company should 'correct course' to resolve the dispute.
