U.S. Military, Anthropic Fight Over AI Usage Limits
This conflict has delayed a contract potentially worth up to $200 million, as military leaders resist what they perceive as overly strict limitations imposed by the San Francisco-based company on the application of its technology, a media outlet reported, citing six sources familiar with the situation.
Anthropic has expressed apprehension that its AI solutions might be utilized to conduct lethal missions without adequate human supervision or to monitor American citizens, according to the media outlet’s sources.
Pentagon officials, on the other hand, maintain that commercial AI platforms should be usable for military objectives regardless of a company’s internal policies, provided they adhere to US law.
The disagreement emerges as part of a wider initiative by the Trump administration to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence across the armed forces. Earlier this month, the Department of War unveiled a strategy aimed at transforming the US military into an “AI-first” fighting force.
Defense leaders insist on maintaining complete authority over how AI technologies are applied in combat and intelligence missions, with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pledging not to employ models that “won’t allow you to fight wars.”
