Anthropic-Pentagon battle shows how big tech has reversed course on AI and war

Anthropic, an AI company, is in a legal dispute with the Pentagon over restrictions on how its AI models can be used, specifically trying to prevent deployment in domestic mass surveillance or fully autonomous lethal weapons (AI systems that make kill decisions without human control). The conflict highlights a shift in the tech industry's approach to military AI, with companies like Google previously refusing military partnerships, but now facing pressure to work with the Pentagon under the Trump administration.
