00:02Anthropic, which makes the AI system clod, it wants to repair its relationship with the
00:07Pentagon after a clash over how the U.S. military can use artificial intelligence in war.
00:13CBS News reports the company CEO, Dario Amadei, says Anthropic is still in talks with the Defense
00:20Department, telling investors the goal is, quote, to try to de-escalate the situation and come to
00:25some agreement that works for us and works for them. Now, this all started when Anthropic tried
00:31to draw red lines around how its technology could be used, including preventing the military from
00:36deploying it for mass surveillance of Americans or for fully autonomous weapons. President Trump
00:43responded by ordering federal agencies to stop using the company's technology, giving them six
00:48months to phase it out, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth labeled Anthropic a supply chain risk.
00:55OK, but here's where things get a little complicated. Both CBS and The Washington Post
01:01report the U.S. military is still using clod right now in its operations in Iran. The AI is embedded
01:08inside the Pentagon's Maven smart system, which analyzes massive streams of intelligence from
01:14satellites, surveillance and other classified data to help identify and prioritize strike targets.
01:20Officials say the system helped generate hundreds of potential targets during the opening
01:24phase of the Iran campaign, turning what once took weeks of planning into real-time battlefield decisions.
