Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave Anthropic until Friday at 5 p.m. to grant the military unresticted use of its AI technology.
The Pentagon has sent AI startup Anthropic a letter with the government's best and final offer to use their technology, CBS News exclusively reported on Thursday. CBS News senior White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs has more.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave the AI company Anthropic an ultimatum about the military's use of its technology, known as Claude.
The Pentagon may decide to officially designate Anthropic as a "supply chain risk" to push them out of government, sources say.
During a simulation in which Anthropic's AI, Claude, was told it was running a vending machine, it decided it was being scammed, "panicked" and tried to contact the FBI's Cyber Crimes Division.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei centered his artificial intelligence brand around safety and transparency. He's determined to figure out the ways AI can be misused to try to mitigate the risks as best Anthropic can.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warns of the potential dangers of fast moving and unregulated artificial intelligence, while also racing against competitors to develop advanced AI.
State-sponsored cybercriminals used Anthropic's tech to target tech companies, financial institutions and other organizations, AI company alleges.
The settlement will pay authors and publishers about $3,000 for each of the approximately 465,000 books covered by the agreement.
