The AI company Anthropic insisted that it could not remove safeguards<\/a> preventing the Department of Defense from using its technology for domestic mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons.\u00a0The Pentagon said it had no interest in such uses \u2013 but that such decisions should not be made by companies. Outrageously, the administration has not just\u00a0fired Anthropic but blacklisted it<\/a> as a supply-chain\u00a0risk. OpenAI stepped in, while insisting that it had maintained the red lines declared by Anthropic.
