The Pentagon has stopped using artificial intelligence tools made by Anthropic, months after the company was designated a supply chain risk by the US defence department.
Anthropic was blacklisted in February after refusing to remove safety guardrails from its AI tools. The Pentagon has now ended its use of the company’s technology, according to the supplied report.
The decision highlights the dispute between the defence department and Anthropic over the safeguards applied to its artificial intelligence systems. No further details about the Pentagon’s replacement technology or the timing of the change were provided.
Anthropic’s refusal to alter its safety measures preceded the Pentagon’s decision to classify the firm as a supply chain risk. The latest known position is that the defence department is no longer using Anthropic’s AI tools.
