Hello, I'm Oliver Conway.
This edition is published in the early hours of Saturday, the 28th of February.
President Trump orders US government agencies to stop doing business with Anthropic after the firm said it won't allow its AI model to be used for mass domestic surveillance or making fully autonomous weapons.
The former US President Bill Clinton tells a congressional committee he did nothing wrong during his acquaintance with Jeffrey Epstein.
And the American singer-songwriter Neil Sedaka has died aged 86.
Also in the podcast, Argentina's President Javier Millet tries to scrap laws protecting glaciers from the mining industry.
And the English Premier League is to launch its first direct-to-customer streaming platform next season.
Should there be restrictions on how artificial intelligence is deployed on the battlefield?
President Trump wants the US military to have the freedom to do what it likes with the technology.
Anthropic, the US firm whose clawed AI assistant was reportedly used in the Venezuela raid last month, thinks there should be some red lines.
It's refused to bow down to the Pentagon's demand that it lift all its restrictions.
And so the US president has now ordered the government to stop doing business with the firm.
Our North America technology correspondent, Lily Chimali, told me how the row unfolded.
So this is Anthropic wanting to put in guardrails for how its technology is used on the battlefield, the US government having none of it.
Yeah, essentially, this is an argument over who has the final say over how AI is used.
So it could be a landmark decision, this.
Our technology correspondent Lily Jamali and Anthropic said in a statement that it will challenge the Pentagon's decision in court and that no amount of intimidation or punishment from the Department of War will change its position on mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons.
