AI Company Challenges National Security Designation and Seeks Reversal
The history of the deterioration of relations between Anthropic and the US government has been revealed through emails submitted in court. Anthropic had a contract with the US Department of Defense regarding the use of AI, but the Department of Defense decided to sever ties due to restrictions on the use of AI for ‘massive domestic surveillance’ and ‘fully autonomous weapons.’ The company has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Defense, seeking to have the designation as a ‘supply chain risk to national security’ removed. This development was first reported by Unknown Source.
