Pentagon summons Anthropic CEO over Claude's military use

The Defense Secretary has summoned Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to the Pentagon for a discussion regarding the military's use of the Claude model. The discussion is expected to be tense, with the Secretary threatening to designate Anthropic as a "supply chain risk."

The Pentagon's move underscores the growing attention and concerns regarding the use of large language models (LLMs) in sensitive contexts such as defense. The reliability, security, and provenance of the data used to train these models have become crucial elements to evaluate, especially when they are used for strategic applications.
