AI, Anthropic and Pentagon
Digest more
The Pentagon previously requested Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and xAI allow the use of their AI models for “all lawful purposes,” to which Anthropic put up the most resistance over fears its AI models could be used for autonomous weapons systems and mass domestic surveillance.
A senior official in the Department of Defense accused Anthropic of "lying" about how the U.S. military intends to use the private tech firm's Claude AI system.
Anthropic launched Claude Cowork in a research capacity last month, rattling software stocks as investors grappled with AI's disruptive potential. The company said Claude Cowork's new updates mark its transition into a true enterprise-grade product.

Anthropic is disrupting knowledge work with new plug-ins capable of financial analysis, investment banking, engineering, and much more.
The Pentagon may decide to officially designate Anthropic as a "supply chain risk" to push them out of government, sources say.
In January, Anthropic “retired” Claude 3 Opus, which at one time was the company’s most powerful AI model. Today, it’s back — and writing on Substack.
When Hegseth and Amodei met Tuesday, military officials warned that they could designate Anthropic as a supply chain risk, cancel its contract or invoke a Cold War-era law called the Defense Production Act to give the military more sweeping authority to use its products, even if the company doesn’t approve.
If the Pentagon carries out its threat to blacklist Anthropic’s Claude AI platform, it could be three months or even longer before the U.S. military regains access to such a powerful tool on its classified networks, according to multiple sources familiar with the fight between the Defense Department and the AI maker.
The unknown Claude user wrote Spanish-language prompts for the chatbot to act as an elite hacker, finding vulnerabilities in government networks, writing computer scripts to exploit them and determining ways to automate data theft, Israeli cybersecurity startup Gambit Security said in research published Wednesday.
Anthropic is making its boldest enterprise push yet with Claude Cowork, rolling out private plug-in marketplaces, deep integrations, and AI agent tools that are reshaping corporate adoption and rattling software markets.
Claude maker and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei advised students and young professionals to focus on human-centered skills, as software engineering and math are rapidly being taken over by AI. His remarks came after he warned that white-collar jobs could disappear in the coming five years.
