A US court has stopped the blocking of AI company Anthropic by the Pentagon.
Anthropic refuses to use its AI for surveillance and autonomous weapons. A judge declares the Pentagon's response illegal.
A US court has ruled that the US Department of Defense's exclusion of AI company Anthropic from military contracts was illegal. The court found that labelling Anthropic, developer of chatbot Claude, a national security risk was unfounded. The exclusion could cost Anthropic billions of dollars, after the company refused to make its AI model available for US surveillance or autonomous weapons.
Anthropic argued that AI models for autonomous weapon systems are not reliable enough and domestic surveillance would violate citizens' rights. The US Department of Defense had claimed that Anthropic's refusal could endanger military systems during ongoing operations.
