Anthropic Pentagon Dispute

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said Thursday that he "cannot in good conscience accede" to the Pentagon's demands to give the military unrestricted access to its AI systems.

"We don't need it, we don't want it, and will not do business with them again," the president wrote in the post.

OpenAI's CEO claims its new defense contract includes protections addressing the same issues that became a flashpoint for Anthropic.

Anthropic’s chatbot Claude seems to have benefited from the attention around the company’s fraught negotiations with the Pentagon.

Tech workers have signed an open letter urging the Department of Defense to withdraw its designation of Anthropic as a "supply chain risk" and instead to settle the matter quietly.
