Pentagon threatens to cancel Anthropic contract by Friday if company doesn’t lift safeguards: Report
The Pentagon demands removal of AI safeguards to enable all lawful military uses or will cancel Anthropic's contract worth up to $200 million, officials warned.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei that the company must allow unrestricted military use of its AI technology by Friday or risk losing its Pentagon contract.
- Anthropic, which makes the Claude chatbot, has so far declined to integrate its technology into a new U.S. military internal network, with Amodei expressing concerns about autonomous weapons, mass surveillance, and broader unchecked government use of AI.
- U.S. defense officials warned they could cancel the contract, label Anthropic a supply chain risk, or invoke the Defense Production Act to expand military authority over the company’s technology if it does not comply.
