• “What we’re not going to do is let any one company dictate a new set of policies above and beyond what Congress has passed,” Under Secretary Emil Michael said of the ongoing impasse between the Pentagon and Anthropic.
Article Summaries:
- The Pentagon’s chief technology officer, Under Secretary Emil Michael, has warned that it would be “not democratic” for the AI firm Anthropic to impose limits on the military’s use of its Claude model. Michael said the Department will not allow any single company to set new policies that go beyond what Congress has authorized. The statement comes amid a standoff between the Pentagon and Anthropic over how the AI system can be deployed by U.S. armed forces. The U.S. government maintains that any restrictions must be grounded in congressional legislation, not private corporate policy.
