Anthropic President Questions OpenAI's Pentagon Deal Amid AI Ethics Debate

Times of India · technology

Anthropic president Daniela Amodei has questioned OpenAI's recent agreement with the Pentagon, suggesting it may have been opportunistic. This comes after Anthropic refused to remove restrictions on mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous lethal weapons for its AI models. Pentagon officials argued for "all lawful uses" of defense technology, leading to US government actions against Anthropic. OpenAI maintains its deal includes safeguards, but Daniela Amodei's remarks cast doubt on the circumstances surrounding the agreement.
