Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is set to meet with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to discuss the use of the company's AI models by the Department of Defense (DoD). The meeting comes amid negotiations that have stalled over Anthropic's concerns about its technology being used for autonomous weapons or surveillance on Americans. The DoD seeks to use the models for all lawful purposes without restrictions. Anthropic, which has a $200 million contract with the DoD, aims to support U.S. national security while ensuring ethical use of its AI technology.
