"Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission."
"Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement."
"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a post on X that he would be directing his department to label Anthropic a supply-chain risk to national security, effective immediately, with implications for contractors, suppliers, and partners."
OpenAI announced a deal with the Department of Defense to deploy its AI models on classified networks, with CEO Sam Altman emphasizing the agreement includes safety principles prohibiting domestic mass surveillance and autonomous weapons without human responsibility. This announcement followed the Pentagon's decision to cut ties with Anthropic, which refused to compromise on its ethical guidelines regarding potential unlawful uses of its AI technology. President Trump ordered federal agencies to cease using Anthropic's technology and directed the Defense Department to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk to national security, significantly escalating government pressure on the AI startup.
