🛡 Pentagon Expands AI's Role in Target Selection
The Department is revising its classified doctrine to accelerate intelligence processing and artillery strike management. In the process, the Pentagon has encountered a conflict with Anthropic: the company has been identified as a "supply chain risk" due to the ethical constraints of its Claude models, leading to the termination of a $200 million contract.
🌍 The Anthropic case demonstrates that "ethical safeguards" in models can become an obstacle to defense contracts. The Pentagon is reorienting its procurement toward OpenAI, Google, and SpaceX, which are prepared to provide less restricted tools.
👤 This is a signal that the arms race is moving into a phase of direct combat application tools, where speed and the absence of "ideological constraints" are becoming priorities over safety.
