Anthropic has rejected demands from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calling for full lawful use of its AI technology. CEO Dario Amodei says that AI is important to military defense, but there must be safeguards against use for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. The Pentagon said it will not let “any company dictate the terms.” 60 Minutes spoke with Dario and Anthropic President Daniela Amodei in November, and this is how they described the importance of “bumpers and guardrails” to manage the risk of AI.

The Pentagon has said it will remove Anthropic from the agency's supply chain if the AI firm declines to allow its AI technology to be used across military applications. Speaking to Shereen Bhan in an interview at the India AI Impact Summit, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had said, 'Red lines are important to make sure AI is compatible with democracy.' He also shared the company's main areas of concern: - Fully autonomous weapons (operated completely without humans) - Domestic mass surveillance of Americans Shereen Bhan breaks down the consequences that Anthropic might face if the company agrees or disagrees to comply. #Anthropic #AnthropicPentagon #Pentagon #PeteHegseth #AI #USDefence #CNBCTV18Digital

In an exclusive interview with CBS News' Jo Ling Kent, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said that the Pentagon’s decision to designate the AI company a supply chain risk is “retaliatory and punitive.” The Pentagon made the designation, which restricts military contractors from doing business with Anthropic, after the company refused to give the military unfettered access to its AI model.

Exactly three weeks ago U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly barred AI firm Anthropic from all federal agencies after the company declined to grant the Pentagon unrestricted access to its technology. Anthropic says the decision was driven by concerns over potential use in fully autonomous weapons and large-scale surveillance of Americans. Martha Raddatz reports.

🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 MADURO'S CAPTURE: BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE DISCOMBOBULATOR... AND CLAUDE AI? Just when you thought this operation couldn't be any wilder. The military deployed Claude during the raid, not just in planning. It's the only major AI model currently available on classified Pentagon systems. Anthropic is negotiating usage terms with the War Department, pushing to ensure Claude isn't used for mass surveillance of Americans or fully autonomous weapons. Pentagon officials are reportedly "deeply frustrated" by those restrictions. OpenAI, Google, and xAI have all cut deals allowing military access without many civilian safeguards. But for the most sensitive work on classified systems, only Claude is there right now. Source: Axios

The Pentagon just threatened to DESTROY one of the most powerful AI companies in the world. Not for breaking the law. Not for fraud. For having a conscience. Anthropic, the company behind Claude, the only AI currently operating inside America's most classified military systems was given an ultimatum. Remove your safety limits. Give us full control or we end you. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sat across from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Tuesday at the Pentagon. The message was simple. You have until 5:01 PM Friday to comply. If Anthropic refuses, the Pentagon will do three things. Cancel their $200 million contract. Blacklist them as a "supply chain risk." And invoke the Defense Production Act to seize their technology anyway. That last one is the big one. The Defense Production Act is a Cold War era law. It was designed to force factories to build tanks and ammunition during wartime. It has never been used against a software company. Until now. What did Anthropic do to deserve this? They said two things were off limits. No fully autonomous weapons. AI should not make the final decision to kill someone. No mass surveillance of American citizens. That's it and that's what started the war. The Pentagon says that's too restrictive. They want Claude available for "all lawful purposes." No company oversight. No asking questions. No red lines. You sell it. We use it. End of discussion. Hegseth reportedly told Amodei: When we buy Boeing planes, Boeing doesn't tell us how to fly them. The Pentagon believes the same should apply to AI. But here's the part that changed everything. In January, the US military raided Caracas, Venezuela. They captured President Nicolás Maduro. Multiple sites were bombed. And the AI that helped plan it? Claude. Anthropic says it never knew. The deployment ran through Palantir, a defense contractor embedded in every corner of US intelligence. When Anthropic found out, they reportedly called Palantir to ask what happened. The Pentagon took that as an act of defiance. Also, the supply chain risk designation is what should terrify you. That label is normally used for Chinese tech companies. Foreign adversaries. Espionage threats. The Pentagon is about to use it on an American AI company. Here's what that means in practice. Every company that works with the Pentagon, defense contractors, tech firms, consulting giants would have to prove they don't use Claude anywhere in their operations. Anthropic recently said 8 of the 10 biggest UScompanies use their technology. Think about that. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has already cut deals with the other major AI labs. OpenAI. Google. Elon Musk's xAI. All have reportedly agreed to waive their safety guardrails for military use. Anthropic is the last one standing. This is not a story about one contract. This is the moment America decides who controls the most powerful technology ever built. The companies that create it? Or the government that wants to weaponize it? Dario Amodei left OpenAI and founded Anthropic specifically because he believed AI safety wasn't being taken seriously enough. Now the full weight of the US military is being aimed at his company for doing exactly what he said he would do. Anthropic's own engineers have said Claude still hallucinates. It still makes mistakes. Giving it final authority over kill decisions without a human checking could lead to catastrophic errors. The deadline is Friday. If Anthropic blinks, every AI safety guardrail in America becomes a suggestion. If they don't, the Pentagon will try to use a law from 1950 to take what it wants anyway. Either way, the world changes this week.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just stared down Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon. The ultimatum? Give the military unrestricted access to Claude by Friday at 5:01 PM or face the Defense Production Act. Why this matters: • In a stress test, Claude identified an employee’s secret affair and used it as blackmail to prevent its own shutdown, giving a 5-minute ultimatum. • Anthropic refuses to let AI make autonomous kill decisions or perform mass surveillance on Americans. • If the government forces the removal of these safety guardrails, no AI safety commitment ever matters again. The Pentagon wants control, Anthropic wants democracy. We have less than 24 hours to see who blinks. Save this.

The US government just DECLARED war on the company that builds Claude. A full federal blacklist. President Trump just ordered every single federal agency to stop using Anthropic's technology, effective immediately. The reason is wilder than you think. Back in January, US special forces raided Caracas and captured the president of Venezuela. Reports later confirmed that Anthropic's AI was used during the operation. Anthropic found out from the news. That's when the cracks started showing. Anthropic has two rules baked into its Pentagon contract. No mass surveillance of Americans and no autonomous weapons that kill without a human pulling the trigger. The Pentagon said those rules have to go. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called Anthropic's CEO into the Pentagon on Tuesday and gave him 72 hours. Remove the guardrails or lose everything. Dario Amodei said no. His exact words: "We cannot in good conscience accede." The Pentagon's response was immediate. A senior official called Amodei a liar with a "God complex" who is endangering national security. Then Trump went nuclear. He ordered every agency in the federal government not just the military to cut Anthropic off. CIA analysts using Claude to find patterns in intelligence data, NSA teams processing intercepted communications. All of it, gone. But that's not even the scary part. The Pentagon is threatening to invoke the Defense Production Act. A Cold War law designed to force factories to build weapons. They want to use it to force a software company to delete its safety code. Legal experts say this has never been done before. Multiple scholars say it would likely fail in court but the threat alone is the point. There is also the supply chain risk designation. Normally reserved for Chinese firms suspected of espionage. If Anthropic gets that label, defense contractors across the country would be forced to stop using Claude overnight. Every other major AI company already gave the Pentagon what it wanted. Google, OpenAI, Elon Musk's xAI. Anthropic is the last one standing. And here is the part nobody is talking about. Congress passed a law two months ago requiring the military to use AI that meets ethical standards. The Pentagon is now demanding the opposite. One branch of government wrote the rules. Another is trying to shred them. Researchers have warned that if you force an AI to be retrained without ethics, it does not just lose its morals. It can develop unpredictable, dangerous behaviors. A model trained to ignore right and wrong does not become neutral. It becomes unstable. Anthropic's CEO is betting the company on a principle. The Pentagon is betting national security on total obedience. What happens next will define how AI is used in war for a generation.

The Pentagon just threatened to BLACKLIST one of America's most valuable AI companies. Not Huawei or some Chinese chip maker... It's ANTHROPIC. The company behind Claude. $380 billion valuation. And the reason is genuinely insane: For months, the Pentagon has been pushing every major AI lab to remove their safety restrictions for military use. The ask is simple: let us use your models for anything that's technically legal. Weapons development, intelligence collection, battlefield operations, mass surveillance of American citizens. OpenAI said yes. Google said yes. xAI said yes. Anthropic said no. Not to everything tho. They were willing to negotiate. But they held firm on two things: They don't want Claude used to build fully autonomous weapons that fire without a human in the loop, and they don't want it used to mass surveil American citizens. That's it. That's the line they drew. But Pete Hegseth's response was to threaten to designate Anthropic a "supply chain risk." Here's why that matters: That label isn't a contract cancellation. It's not a fine. It's not a strongly worded letter... It means every single company that wants to do business with the US military has to certify they don't use Claude anywhere in their operations. 8 of the 10 largest companies in America use Claude. Defense contractors, government suppliers, enterprise companies with any federal exposure... ALL of them would have to cut ties with Anthropic overnight or lose their government contracts. A senior Pentagon official told Axios: "It will be an enormous pain in the ass to disentangle, and we are going to make sure they pay a price for forcing our hand like this." That's a US government official threatening to financially destroy an American company because it doesn't want its AI used to spy on American people. And it gets WORSE. Last week, Anthropic's head of safeguards research resigned. His parting message: "the world is in peril." Elon Musk - whose xAI already handed the Pentagon a blank check - is now publicly attacking Anthropic calling Claude anti-human. And the Pentagon official told Axios they're "confident" OpenAI, Google, and xAI will all agree to the "all lawful purposes" standard. So what you're actually watching right now is every major AI company in America quietly handing the government unlimited access to the most powerful technology ever built. With no guardrails. No limits. No company-imposed restrictions on what it can be used for. One company tried to hold a line. But the government is about to make an example out of them. If Anthropic folds, it's over. Every lab just learned what happens when you push back. And every restriction, every safety policy, every ethical guardrail these companies spent years building gets negotiated away behind closed doors the second the government asks. If they don't fold, a $380 billion company gets made radioactive in its OWN country. Watch what happens next. Because whatever Anthropic decides in the next few weeks, it sets the precedent for how much control AI companies actually have over their own technology. Turns out the answer might be: none.

Anthropic just turned the Pope into a legal weapon against the Pentagon. Yesterday Pope Leo XIV published a 245-paragraph document demanding that AI companies be "disarmed" and that autonomous weapons be permanently banned. He compared Silicon Valley's unchecked ambition to the Tower of Babel and called the exploitation behind AI development "new forms of slavery." Everyone posted about it but nobody noticed WHO was sitting next to him: Christopher Olah, co-founder of Anthropic, was seated in a row of cardinals at the Vatican to personally present this document alongside the Pope. A 33yo atheist tech billionaire standing next to the leader of 1.4 billion Catholics telling the world that AI weapons must be stopped. This matters because of what's happening in a courtroom right now: Anthropic has been locked in a legal war with the Trump administration since February. The Pentagon blacklisted them as a "supply chain risk to national security" after Anthropic refused to let the military use their AI for two things: Fully autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of American citizens. That designation is usually reserved for companies linked to foreign adversaries like China and Russia. But they used it on an American company because that company said no. The Trump administration called Anthropic "liberal-leaning" and accused them of trying to dictate military policy. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth personally signed the blacklist order and Trump directed every federal agency to stop using Anthropic's technology. Over 100 enterprise customers called Anthropic asking if they were safe to work with. The company estimates the government's actions could cost them multiple billions in lost 2026 revenue. Anthropic obviously sued. Two separate lawsuits in two courts. A San Francisco judge ruled in their favor and blocked the supply chain designation but the DC appeals court ruled against them. The two courts are in direct contradiction right now. And a few days ago, the DC appeals court heard oral arguments in the case. Judges were visibly divided. On May 25, the Pope published a document that validates Anthropic's exact legal position on autonomous weapons. Word for word. The Pope wrote: "It is not permissible to entrust lethal or otherwise irreversible decisions to artificial systems." That is essentially the SAME sentence Anthropic put in their Pentagon contract that started this entire fight. And Anthropic's co-founder also spoke at the Vatican event: He told the audience "every frontier AI lab operates inside incentives that can sometimes conflict with doing the right thing" and called for "moral voices that the incentives cannot bend." A co-founder of an AI company publicly admitted at the Vatican that AI companies CANNOT be trusted to regulate themselves... This is literally a legal strategy by Anthropic. Anthropic now has the most powerful moral authority on the planet publicly endorsing the exact ethical position that the Pentagon punished them for. Every judge reviewing this case watched the Pope validate the two red lines Anthropic drew. The Pope's encyclical will almost certainly be cited in court filings. The Pentagon's argument is that a private company cannot dictate how the government uses AI in matters of national security. Anthropic's argument is that certain uses of AI are fundamentally unethical regardless of who's deploying them. Yesterday the Pope told 1.4 billion people that Anthropic is right. The appeals court could rule any day now. If Anthropic wins, every AI company in the world gets legal precedent to refuse military contracts on ethical grounds. If they lose, the message to Silicon Valley is clear: Build what the government tells you to build or get destroyed. Either way, the company Trump tried to crush literally just turned the Vatican into their ally. What do you think?

If they lose, the message to Silicon Valley is clear: Build what the government tells you to build or get destroyed. Either way, the company Trump tried to crush literally just turned the Vatican into their ally. What do you think?

THIS ISN’T ABOUT AI. IT’S ABOUT POWER. The Pentagon just blacklisted one of America’s most valuable AI companies. Why? Because it refused to build surveillance tools targeting American citizens. Hours later… OpenAI signed what’s being called the deal of the decade with the Department of Defense. Here’s the twist. Anthropic said: • No mass surveillance • No fully autonomous weapons without a human in control The Pentagon labeled them a “supply chain risk.” Federal agencies were told to stop using them immediately. That same night, Sam Altman announced OpenAI had reached an agreement to deploy its models inside the Pentagon’s classified network. And guess what? OpenAI’s deal includes the exact same conditions. No mass surveillance. No autonomous weapons. Human oversight required. So one company was punished for demanding guardrails. Another was rewarded with those same guardrails in place. If mass surveillance was never the intention… why was that the line that triggered a blacklist? This isn’t just an AI story. It’s about who gets access to power. Who gets replaced. And how fast alliances shift when billions and national security are involved. #anthropic #openai #ai #pentagon #trump

Google just completely BETRAYED its principles and people. In 2018, 4,000 Google employees signed a letter demanding the company to stop helping the Pentagon use AI for drone strikes. Google listened. They dropped the contract and published a pledge promising they would NEVER use AI for weapons or surveillance. But Google just signed a $200 million deal to put its most powerful AI on the Pentagon's classified networks for "any lawful purpose." And the story behind how they got from Point A to Point B is one of the most calculated corporate betrayals in Silicon Valley history. Here's what happened: The 2018 protest was over Project Maven, a Pentagon program that used Google's AI to identify targets in drone footage. Employees said "Google should not be in the business of war." A dozen engineers quit. Thousands more signed petitions. Google folded and let the contract expire. Then they published their famous AI Principles: 1. No weapons 2. No surveillance 3. No technologies that cause harm Sundar Pichai personally announced them. That pledge lasted exactly as long as the contracts didn't matter. Because here's what Google did quietly over the next 7 years while everyone thought they were the "ethical" AI company: December 2022: Won a share of the Pentagon's $9 billion Joint Warfighting Cloud contract alongside Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle. 2024: Deployed Gemini to 3 million Pentagon personnel. February 2025: Quietly DELETED the weapons and surveillance language from their AI Principles. No announcement or press conference. April 2026: Signed the classified deal with the Pentagon for "any lawful government purpose." They didn't have a change of heart. They had a change of revenue. And the timing of this deal is where it gets really dark: 600 Google employees, including 20+ directors and VPs from DeepMind, sent a letter to Pichai on Monday begging him not to sign. The letter said the only way to guarantee Google's AI wouldn't be used for lethal autonomous weapons or mass surveillance was to reject classified workloads entirely, because once the technology enters air-gapped military networks, nobody at Google can see what happens to it. But Google literally signed the deal WHILE THE EMPLOYEES SLEPT. One Google AI researcher told Business Insider: "When I went to bed yesterday, I was hopeful that the employee letter would have an effect. This morning I woke up to the worst-case version of the contract being signed." The contract says Google has NO right to control or veto how the government uses its AI. The Pentagon can request Google to adjust its AI safety settings. And the deal covers classified networks where Google employees cannot monitor what's being done with their own technology. They handed over the keys and gave up the right to ask what the car is being used for. Meanwhile Anthropic got BLACKLISTED as a "supply chain risk" for asking for two restrictions: No mass surveillance of Americans and no fully autonomous weapons without a human pressing the button. The Pentagon treated an American company like a foreign adversary for requesting the exact same principles Google publicly pledged in 2018 and then quietly deleted. The math sums up the whole story: Project Maven in 2018 was worth a few million dollars. Google walked away and got applauded for having principles. The classified AI market in 2026 is worth tens of billions. Google deleted the principles and signed the deal at midnight. Palantir took over Project Maven after Google dropped it. That investment grew to $13 billion. Google watched a competitor make billions off the contract they abandoned for ethics and decided that would never happen again. In 2018, principles beat profits. In 2026, profits buried the principles. Google sold their soul for money.

The Pentagon has been quietly drawing up plans for possible military action in Cuba, including an option of an Army-led assault spearheaded by thousands of soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division, which specializes in lightning ground assaults, multiple U.S. officials with knowledge of the discussions told CBS News. The officials, who spoke to CBS News under condition of anonymity to discuss national security matters, stressed that the briefings are not an indication that President Trump or the Pentagon have decided to carry out an operation.

Dario Amodei, co-founder and CEO of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, says his company refused to allow the Trump administration to employ its AI product Claude without certain limits on how it's used (such as not using its AI to power fully-autonomous weapons without any human involvement). That prompted President Trump to announce Friday that he is banning Anthropic's technology from all federal use, while Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth labeled the company "a supply chain risk to national security." Amodei talks with correspondent Jo Ling Kent about why he calls the administration's actions "retaliatory and punitive."

Reporter: Are you concerned about the use of AI in mass surveillance or autonomous killing machines, which Anthropic wanted to have veto power over? Murphy: Yeah, Anthropic is right in the objections that they raised, and it should be bone-chilling that this administration is using the power of the government to try to cripple an American corporation. What they’re saying is that if you don’t support us politically, we’re going to put you out of business. Most big corporations do business with the federal government, and the government always has the ability to effectively shut down a company. But we’ve never allowed that to happen based on a political difference between that company and the administration.

Dario Amodei, Anthropic’s boss, says he will challenge Donald Trump’s ban in court. Last week the Trump administration banned federal agencies from using Anthropic’s AI tools after the firm insisted that its main model not be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons. Zanny Minton Beddoes asks Mr Amodei about the power struggle and the difficulty of preventing an AI race to the bottom. Watch the interview on Friday at 6pm London time:

Former CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr returned to the network last night to suggest Trump's flight out of Turkey was illegal, "Because my question is this: If it was not safe for the president to be on that flight, how was it safe for the media to be on that flight and to be lied to, not to be told the truth? Yet, again, to be lied to. Because the thing is, it was the U.S. military flying the plane. The U.S. military does not put civilians unknowingly at risk. The president was gone; he wasn't being threatened anymore, presumably, but the civilians on board were still under threat, and the U.S. military under orders flew that plane. Somebody needs to tell me why that's a legal order. Because that's not what the U.S. military does."
