US Military Uses Anthropic Claude For Operations
8.2
U.S. military officials and a Wall Street Journal report say the Pentagon used Anthropic’s Claude to assist in recent Israeli‑U.S. strikes in Iran, including intelligence and OSINT tasks, and earlier in an operation against Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro in January. After Anthropic refused to remove safety guardrails, the Pentagon ended the partnership and has begun working with OpenAI, prompting renewed debate over LLMs’ role in lethal operations.
