Anthropic CEO Amodei says Pentagon's threats 'do not change our position' on AI

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated the company will not allow the U.S. Department of Defense to use its AI models without restrictions on fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance, despite Pentagon threats to label the company a supply chain risk or invoke the Defense Production Act. The DoD counters that it only wants to use the models for lawful purposes and has given Anthropic until Friday evening to agree to unrestricted access, with competing AI companies like OpenAI and Google already accepting these terms.
