"Claude is extensively deployed across the Department of War and other national security agencies for mission-critical applications, such as intelligence analysis, modeling and simulation, operational planning, cyber operations, and more. He also boasts that he's turned down hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts from the Chinese Communist Party on the grounds that it might be used militarily against the U.S."
"what he won't allow is the use of their product to spy on American citizens, nor for it to be entirely in charge of weaponry. As farcical as it might sound to hear a CEO saying that he has no problem with his hallucinating generative-AI being used to spy on foreign citizens, and to be part of partially autonomous weapons, but then take moral objection to tweaks on this, it does remain the case that this is a defiant stance against the U.S. government's pressure"
Anthropic's Claude AI is extensively deployed by the U.S. Department of Defense for intelligence analysis, cyber operations, and military planning. However, the U.S. government has pressured Anthropic for months to expand Claude's use to mass domestic surveillance of American citizens and fully autonomous weapons systems that operate without human control. CEO Dario Amodei has publicly stated that Anthropic will not comply with these demands. While Amodei emphasizes that Anthropic supports military applications and has rejected lucrative contracts from China, he draws a firm line against domestic surveillance and autonomous lethal decision-making, positioning this as a defiant stance against government pressure from the Department of Defense and Pentagon.
