"This is not a friendly meeting. This is a sh*t-or-get-off-the-pot meeting."The Department of Defense is considering cutting ties with the AI company if it does not lift restrictions on how the U.S. military uses its technology, including the AI chatbot Claude.Anthropic recently told defense officials that it does not want its AI used for mass surveillance of Americans or deployed in autonomous weapons that don’t involve human decision-making.
