"No LLM, anywhere, in its current form, should be considered for use in a fully lethal autonomous weapon system. It's ludicrous even to suggest it (and at least in theory, DoDD 3000.09 wouldn't allow it without sufficient human oversight). So making this a company redline seems reasonable to me."
"Despite the hype, frontier models are not ready for prime time in national security settings. Over-reliance on them at this stage is a recipe for catastrophe. Mass surveillance of US citizens? No thanks. Seems like a reasonable second redline."
"Why not work on what kind of new governance is needed to ensure secure, reliable, predictable use of all frontier models, from all companies? This is a shared government-industry challenge, demanding a shared government-industry (+ academia) solution."
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei publicly rejected the Pentagon's request to use Claude under military terms, stating the company cannot comply in good conscience. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded with an ultimatum threatening blacklisting. Former USAF Lt. Gen. Jack Shanahan, now at the Center for a New American Security, supports Anthropic's position on two key issues: preventing use in fully lethal autonomous weapons systems and rejecting mass surveillance of US citizens. Shanahan argues frontier AI models are not ready for national security applications and advocates for collaborative government-industry governance frameworks rather than public confrontation.
