"First, we do not believe that today's frontier AI models are reliable enough to be used in fully autonomous weapons. Second, we believe that mass domestic surveillance of Americans constitutes a violation of fundamental rights."
"US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanded that Anthropic remove the clauses in its contracts that prohibit the use of Claude for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. When Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei refused to comply, Hegseth declared the company a 'supply chain risk' and President Donald Trump ordered all government agencies to stop using Anthropic's services."
The US government designated Anthropic, a $380 billion AI company, as a supply chain risk and banned it from all government agencies after the company refused to remove contractual clauses prohibiting Claude's use in fully autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanded Anthropic remove these restrictions, but CEO Dario Amodei declined, citing concerns about AI reliability for autonomous weapons and fundamental rights violations. Anthropic filed a legal challenge, stating the blacklisting could cost billions in revenue and reputational damage. The company maintained its position that frontier AI models lack sufficient reliability for autonomous weapons deployment and that mass domestic surveillance violates fundamental American rights.
