Pentagon disputes Anthropic limits on Claude’s military use as contract talks strain

After Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in late February that the company would not allow its Claude model to be used for mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons, senior Pentagon officials said they have no intention of using AI for domestic surveillance and insist that private firms cannot set binding limits on how the U.S. military employs AI tools.
US President Donald Trump has directed federal agencies to immediately cease using Anthropic's AI technology. The order follows a dispute with the Pentagon, where the company refused unconditional military use of its Claude models. Anthropic has vowed to challenge the Pentagon's ban in court.
