00:00American artificial intelligence company Anthropik says it will not back down in a dispute with the Pentagon over how its
00:08technology is used.
00:09The firm's chief executive, Dario Amode, says the company would rather walk away from defense work than allow its tools
00:16to be used in ways that could undermine democratic values.
00:22Talks between the two sides ended with a warning that Anthropik could be removed from the Defense Department's supply chain
00:30if it does not comply.
00:32Anthropik, which is backed by Google and Amazon, holds a contract with a department worth up to $200 million.
00:39Amode says the Pentagon has indicated it will work only with AI companies that agree to what it calls any
00:47lawful use of their systems, including the removal of such safeguards.
