Anthropic dispute highlights gaps in Pentagon AI oversight
Congress has not enacted legislation specifically governing the DOD's use of frontier AI models or their reliability in autonomous weapons. Amid the Pentagon's dispute with Anthropic, President Trump in February directed federal agencies to stop using its technology and Defense Secretary Hegseth ordered it excluded from the supply chain; on Sept. 25 a D.C. Circuit panel upheld the exclusion. Anthropic CEO Amodei said frontier AI is not reliable enough for fully autonomous weapons.
