00:02This morning, Anthropik's CEO says his company will not give the Pentagon unrestricted access
00:09to its AI model, Claude. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had given the company a deadline of today
00:15to grant access or face consequences. Those consequences include canceling Anthropik's
00:21$200 million Defense Department contract, labeling the company a supply chain risk,
00:26and invoking the Defense Production Act. In a statement, CEO Dario Amadei called that approach
00:33inherently contradictory. He writes,
00:49Amadei says Anthropik will not drop its safeguards. The company is seeking assurances that Claude
00:55would not be used for fully autonomous weapons or mass domestic surveillance. The Pentagon has not
01:02agreed to those terms, though it notes that spying on Americans is illegal. Talks are continuing.
01:07But according to Axios, the Pentagon on Wednesday asked Boeing and Lockheed Martin to detail how
01:13much they rely on Claude, a move seen as a first step toward formally designating Anthropik a supply
01:19chain risk.
