Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has rejected the Pentagon's request for unrestricted use of their AI technology, Claude, for military purposes, including autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. This refusal has led to tensions between Anthropic and the Department of Defense, which threatens to label the company a supply chain risk and cancel contracts.

Despite the Pentagon's insistence on the necessity of Claude for national security, Anthropic stands firm on its safety protocols, which require human oversight in AI applications. Negotiations continue as both sides remain at an impasse.
