- Anthropic's showdown with the US Department of War could set dangerous precedents for AI use in military applications.
- Secretary Hegseth demands unrestricted military access to Anthropic's AI, including for surveillance and autonomous weapons, possibly extending to nuclear weapons.
- Hegseth's actions aim to circumvent Congressional oversight by imposing a tight deadline, excluding public and legislative deliberation.
- There is concern over the use of AI in mass surveillance and autonomous weapons without human oversight, decisions that should involve Congress.
- The failure of the Block Nuclear Launch by Autonomous Artificial Intelligence Act of 2023 raises risks of AI-controlled nuclear weapons without human intervention.
- Public action is urged: contacting Senators and Representatives to demand Congressional involvement in these critical AI policy decisions.
