Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth plans to meet with the CEO of Anthropic. The artificial intelligence company is the only one of its peers to not supply its technology to a new U.S. military internal network. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has raised ethical concerns about unchecked government use of AI, including the dangers of fully autonomous armed drones and AI-assisted mass surveillance. Hegseth has said he wants AI to become a key part of the nation's defense and security and has criticized some AI models that restrict what he says is lawful military activity. A defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed Tuesday's meeting between Hegseth and Amodei.
