00:00It's Benzinga bringing Wall Street to Main Street.
00:02Anthropic said it will not back down in a dispute with the Defense Department over
00:06artificial intelligence guardrails ahead of a Friday deadline, according to the Wall Street
00:11Journal. During a Tuesday meeting at the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave
00:16CEO Dario Amadei until 5.01 p.m. Friday to agree to the military's right to use the technology
00:22in all lawful cases. Hegseth warned he could invoke the Defense Production Act or label
00:27Anthropic a supply chain risk if the company refuses. Anthropic declined a proposal and
00:32said it does not allow the use of its cloud models for mass domestic surveillance or autonomous
00:36weapons. Amadei said the company cannot agree to the military's request because its latest
00:41proposal would effectively undo Anthropic's guardrails. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
