Anthropic, an AI company, has filed sworn declarations challenging the Pentagon’s claim that its AI technology poses an ‘unacceptable risk to national security.’ The dispute arose after President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth announced the termination of ties with Anthropic due to restrictions on military AI use. Anthropic’s Head of Policy, Sarah Heck, refuted the government’s assertion that the company sought an approval role in military operations, emphasizing that such demands were never made during negotiations. Additionally, concerns about technology alteration mid-operation were allegedly not part of prior discussions. The case is set for a hearing on March 24 in San Francisco, highlighting the ongoing tension between tech companies and the government over AI control and security.
