Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has voiced his concerns over the Pentagon’s recent move to declare the company a supply chain risk to national security. In an exclusive interview with CBS News, Amodei described the decision as ‘retaliatory and punitive’, citing the company’s efforts to establish clear boundaries in the government’s use of its technology.

Amodei emphasized that Anthropic’s primary goal is to uphold American values by drawing a clear line in the sand regarding the use of its technology. The CEO stressed that crossing these lines would be contrary to the values that the company holds dear, and that it is essential to navigate the complex landscape of government regulations and technological advancements.

The Pentagon’s decision to restrict military contractors from doing business with Anthropic has sparked a heated debate about the role of AI in national security. As the company navigates this challenging environment, Amodei’s statement highlights the need for a nuanced approach to balancing innovation with responsibility.
