Pentagon Told Anthropic Sides Were Nearly Aligned

Summary

Anthropic has submitted sworn declarations to a California federal court, disputing the Pentagon’s claims that the AI company poses a national security risk. The declarations argue that the government’s case is based on technical misunderstandings and claims that were never raised during negotiations. The submissions were made late Friday afternoon.


Our Reading

The announcement sounds ambitious.

Anthropic pushes back on national security concerns, citing technical misunderstandings. The AI company claims the government’s case relies on unraised issues. This is a familiar dance, where “national security” becomes a convenient excuse for unclear regulations. Another day, another AI company forced to argue its right to exist. Because, apparently, “we’re not a risk” is a revolutionary idea.
