Anthropic Talks With Pentagon Stall Over Claude AI Guardrails

Anthropic PBC's talks about extending a contract with the Pentagon are being held up over additional protections the artificial intelligence company wants to put on its Claude tool, a person familiar with the matter said. Anthropic wants to put guardrails in place to stop Claude from being used for mass surveillance of Americans or to develop weapons that can be deployed without a human involved, the person said, asking not to be identified because the negotiations are private. The Pentagon wants to be able to use Claude as long as its deployment doesn't break the law. Bloomberg News Tech and National Security Reporter Katrina Manson joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. She speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.
