So over the last two weeks, there's been this really high stakes confrontation going on between Anthropic and the Department of Defense or the Department of War. I can't remember what we're calling it nowadays.

174.674 - 195.205

This is Pete Hegseth, and it's kind of under Donald Trump. And basically the center of this whole argument is a question I think that is going to be really important for how AI is used inside of government going forward in the future. And that is kind of who is, you know, who's in control of these AI systems that are powering the most powerful national defense systems.

195.645 - 213.925

So Anthropic CEO Dario Amadeo, he said, like he basically made this big statement where he's basically saying he doesn't want his AI models to be used for two specific things, mass domestic surveillance of Americans and also fully autonomous weapons that select and engage targets without human involvement. So those are kind of his two red lines.

213.905 - 237.89

And between and, you know, between those two things, he said that, look, we can't keep supporting the military on these different use cases that they might be pursuing. And so he kind of put safety safety guards and guardrails into what Anthropic is capable of doing so that the government can't do that now. The Pentagon's position is also, I mean, they're very direct on what they want.
