Claude vs. The Pentagon

from Generative AI 101 Hosted by Emily Laird

Host Emily Laird drags a flashlight and a bad attitude into the Anthropic vs. Department of Defense showdown, where “any lawful use” reads like a blank check with a flag sticker. A $200 million contract, a Friday 5:01 PM ultimatum, and a “supply chain risk” label turn AI policy into a cage match with receipts. Then comes the twist, Claude gets sidelined in public and relied on in private, because nothing says modern warfare like contract language and social posts doing the steering.
