This technology could do devastating harm to millions if it’s foolishly deployed. Why should we, or Anthropic, merely trust the government to use it wisely?

Trump’s embrace of OpenAI over Anthropic is telling, as it mirrors his administration’s widespread renunciation of the values underlying the U.S. Constitution itself.

The CEO of Anthropic says his company refused to allow its technology to be used by the Trump Administration without certain guidelines (such as not using its AI to power fully-autonomous weapons without any human involvement).

Anthropic's moral stand on U.S. military use of artificial intelligence is reshaping the competition between leading AI companies, but also exposing a growing awareness that chatbots may not be capable enough for acts of war.

ANALYSIS: After rejecting Pentagon demands tied to autonomous weapons and surveillance, Anthropic’s stand has intensified debate over AI ethics — echoing recent Vatican warnings.

It's Anthropic vs. OpenAI and the Pentagon in the AI wars, and San Francisco's chalk warriors have chosen their champion.
