Pentagon’s AI battle will help decide who controls our most powerful military tech
Fox News
Pentagon designates Anthropic a security risk after AI firm refuses to remove military guardrails, sparking showdown over who controls America's most powerful warfare technology.
Artificial intelligence has moved the lab to the kill chain. AI tools are being used for intelligence analysis, targeting refinement, pattern recognition, and operational simulations. These systems compress time, reduce uncertainty and accelerate decisions. Anthropic argues that removing safeguards could enable autonomous killing systems or unconstitutional domestic spying. First, Congress must draw bright lines: no AI-enabled mass domestic surveillance of Americans without strict constitutional safeguards. Robert Maginnis is a retired U.S. Army officer and the author of 13 books. His latest is "AI for Mankind’s Future."
And the showdown between Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and AI firm Anthropic is not a contract dispute. It is the opening battle over who controls the most powerful military technology of the 21st century.
