Anthropic insisted it needed guarantees against AI use for surveillance as well as autonomous weapons, and Altman said the Defense Department had agreed to "technical safeguards" for those areas. But in response to growing skepticism about the value of such safeguards, Altman posted Monday that "to make our principles very clear...we are going to amend our deal." In addition to surveillance, he said the Pentagon agreed that OpenAI models would not be used by its intelligence agencies, including the National Security Agency. "There are many things the technology just isn't ready for, and many areas we don't yet understand the tradeoffs required for safety." Anthropic has vowed to fight the order in court, calling it a "dangerous precedent for any American company that negotiates with the government."
