Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has made clear the boundaries of the Pentagon's use for Claude, and the ball is now in Pete Hegseth's court

"We remain ready to continue our work to support the national security of the United States." In response, US Under Secretary of Defense Emil Michael accused Amodei in a post on X of wanting "nothing more than to try to personally control the US military and is OK putting our nation's safety at risk." The standoff began when the Pentagon demanded that Anthropic its Claude AI product available for "all lawful purposes" including mass surveillance and the development of fully autonomous weapons that can kill without human supervision

The Pentagon's top spokesman has reiterated that the military wants to use Anthropic's artificial intelligence technology in legal ways and will not let the company dictate any limits ahead of a Friday deadline to agree to its demands
