"The DoD's view is that it should be free to use Anthropic's AI for "all lawful purposes," regardless of ethical boundaries set by the company itself. Anthropic, by contrast, wants to set narrower guardrails."
"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave Anthropic until Friday, February 27 to agree to its terms during a tense meeting this week. If no agreement is reached, the company would risk being deemed a "supply chain risk," with Hegseth even threatening to invoke the Cold War-era Defense Production Act to compel cooperation."
A conflict has emerged between the US Department of Defense and Anthropic regarding military AI applications. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanded that Anthropic agree to allow the Pentagon to use its AI for all lawful purposes without ethical restrictions. Anthropic prefers to maintain narrower guardrails on its technology. Hegseth set a February 27 deadline for agreement, threatening to classify Anthropic as a supply chain risk and potentially invoke the Cold War-era Defense Production Act to compel compliance if negotiations fail.
