"The big picture: Anthropic's Claude is the only AI model currently available in the military's classified systems, and is the world leader for many business applications. Pentagon officials heartily praise Claude's capabilities. As a sign of how embedded the software already is within the military, Claude was used during the Maduro raid in January, as Axios reported on Friday. Breaking it down: Anthropic and the Pentagon have held months of contentious negotiations over the terms under which the military can use Claude."
"Anthropic is prepared to loosen its current terms of use, but wants to ensure its tools aren't used to spy on Americans en masse, or to develop weapons that fire with no human involvement. The Pentagon claims that's unduly restrictive, and that there are all sorts of gray areas that would make it unworkable to operate on such terms. Pentagon officials are insisting in negotiations with Anthropic and three other big AI labs - OpenAI, Google and xAI -"
The Department of War is reviewing its relationship with Anthropic while Pentagon officials emphasize warfighter needs and public safety. Claude is the only AI model in the military's classified systems and was used during the Maduro raid in January. Anthropic and the Pentagon have engaged in months of contentious negotiations over terms for military use. Anthropic seeks limits to prevent mass surveillance of Americans and fully autonomous weapons, while the Pentagon demands broader rights to use AI tools for all lawful purposes and is negotiating with multiple AI labs. Existing surveillance law does not contemplate AI, raising privacy concerns.
