"This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon. Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic's models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic."
"The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY."
"Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a statement saying the company cannot in good conscience accede to the Pentagon's request to abandon company policies related to the use of its AI for lethal autonomous operations or mass domestic surveillance."
The Secretary of Defense labeled Anthropic a supply-chain risk to national security and barred Pentagon contractors from working with the firm after Anthropic refused to remove internal safety guardrails from its AI models. President Trump ordered the federal government to cease using Anthropic's technology, characterizing the company's stance as arrogance and a threat to national security. Trump announced a six-month phase-out period for government agencies, warning of civil and criminal consequences if Anthropic does not comply. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated the company cannot abandon policies restricting AI use for lethal autonomous operations and mass domestic surveillance. Pentagon officials claim they have no interest in such applications.
