Claude enlists to help US defense, intelligence AI efforts
Briefly

"Palantir is proud to be the first industry partner to bring Claude models to classified environments," said Palantir's CTO, Shyam Sankar. "Our partnership with Anthropic and AWS provides US defense and intelligence communities the tool chain they need to harness and deploy AI models securely, bringing the next generation of decision advantage to their most critical missions."
The US government will be using Claude to reduce data processing times, identify patterns and trends, streamline document reviews, and help officials "make more informed decisions in time-sensitive situations while preserving their decision-making authorities," the press release noted.
In an announcement today, the three firms said the partnership would integrate Claude 3 and 3.5 with Palantir's Artificial Intelligence Platform, hosted on AWS. Both Palantir and AWS have been awarded Impact Level 6 (IL6) certification by the Department of Defense, which allows the processing and storage of classified data up to the Secret level.
Unlike Meta, which announced yesterday it was opening Llama to the US government for defense and national security applications, Anthropic doesn't even need to make an exception to its acceptable use policy (AUP) to allow for potentially dangerous applications of Claude in the hands of the DoD, CIA or any other defense or intelligence branch using it.
