Pentagon CTO Criticizes Anthropic's Autonomous Weapons Limits

Pentagon Undersecretary Emil Michael said in a podcast Friday that talks with Anthropic broke down over the company’s limits on using its Claude AI in fully autonomous weapons, including the proposed Golden Dome missile-defense program. The dispute led the Pentagon to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk and follows President Trump’s order to halt federal use of Claude, with a six-month phase-out for Defense Department systems. The fight could move to court.
