"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. Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic's technology."
"The Department of Defense had given Anthropic a deadline of 5:01 p.m. ET today to drop restrictions on its AI model, Claude, from being used for domestic mass surveillance or entirely autonomous weapons. The Pentagon has said it doesn't intend to use AI in those ways, but requires AI companies to allow their models to be used for all lawful purposes."
"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he shares the red lines set by rival Anthropic restricting how the military uses AI models, amid Anthropic's escalating feud with the Pentagon."
A conflict emerged between Anthropic and the Pentagon over the company's restrictions on using its Claude AI model for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. The Department of Defense demanded Anthropic remove these limitations, citing the need for AI tools to be available for all lawful purposes. Anthropic refused, maintaining ethical boundaries on military applications. President Trump responded by ordering all federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's technology immediately, with a six-month transition period. The announcement came just before the Pentagon's deadline. Other AI companies, including OpenAI, expressed similar concerns about unrestricted military AI use, indicating broader industry hesitation about certain defense applications.
