前总统特朗普以未能满足五角大楼的要求为由,下令所有美国联邦机构停止使用人工智能公司Anthropic的技术。此举正值Anthropic与国防部达成合同的最后期限。 核心争议在于Anthropic拒绝允许其人工智能Claude被用于完全自主武器系统或大规模国内监控。Anthropic声称,五角大楼最近的合同措辞*削弱*了对这些用途的保障措施,可能使其“随意”使用。 五角大楼坚称它没有这样的意图,但辩称Anthropic的限制阻碍了军事行动。他们威胁说,如果无法达成协议,将把Anthropic指定为“供应链风险”。 参议员们敦促双方继续谈判,并可能寻求立法解决方案。专家警告说,特朗普的举动树立了一个危险的先例,可能会迫使私营公司在面临严重后果的威胁下,遵守政府的要求。目前正在使用Anthropic产品的机构将有一段为期六个月的逐步淘汰期。

## 特朗普下令美国政府切断与Anthropic的联系 唐纳德·特朗普已下令所有美国联邦机构停止使用人工智能公司Anthropic的技术,理由是该公司“极左、觉醒”的立场以及拒绝遵守未明确说明的要求。这一举动通过一篇冗长的Truth Social帖子宣布,源于Anthropic不愿允许其人工智能被用于自动化武器瞄准和国内监控。 Hacker News的讨论显示,人们普遍对特朗普的言论和行动表示担忧,许多人担心滑向专制。一些人认为这是为了胁迫其他人工智能公司就范的权力游戏,而另一些人则认为这是精神能力下降的证据。 尽管存在焦虑,一些评论员认为Anthropic可能会从反弹中受益,吸引反对当前政府的客户。关于人工智能在战争和监控中的适当性,以及特朗普的行动是否对民主构成真正威胁,或者仅仅是总统权力的行使,也存在争论。一些用户指出潜在的替代方案,如Palantir,并质疑政府依赖潜在不稳定的人工智能提供商的长期影响。

President Donald Trump has ordered U.S. government agencies to stop using Anthropic’s products, just hours before the deadline the Pentagon set for the AI company to agree to its terms.

"I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic's technology. We don't need it, we don't want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic's products, at various levels," Trump posted on his social media platform.

"Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow," Trump added.

ABC News has reached out to Anthropic for comment.

The AI company's CEO has made clear that despite threats from the Pentagon, they refuse to drop their two key demands: no use of its artificial intelligence for fully autonomous weapons -- meaning AI, not humans, making final battlefield targeting decisions -- and no mass domestic surveillance.

Anthropic told ABC News that amid negotiations, the latest contract language from the Pentagon does not fully commit that the military will not use their technology for those two use cases.

In fact, Anthropic said the "new language" added into the contract by the department would allow their safeguards to be "disregarded at will."

"The contract language we received from the Department of War made virtually no progress on preventing Claude's use for mass surveillance of Americans or in fully autonomous weapons," Anthropic told ABC News.

The company added, "New language framed as compromise was paired with legalese that would allow those safeguards to be disregarded at will. Despite DOW's recent public statements, these narrow safeguards have been the crux of our negotiations for months."

Top members of the Senate Armed Services Committee have sent a private letter to Anthropic and the Pentagon, urging them to resolve their fight.

The Senate leaders are urging Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, to extend their negotiations and work with Congress to find a solution, according to the letter obtained by ABC News.

The Pentagon claims it has no intention of using Anthropic's AI for cases that involve mass domestic surveillance or autonomous kinetic operations. However, it says Anthropic's guardrails could jeopardize military operations.

The Pentagon said that if Anthropic does not agree to its demands by 5:00 p.m. ET Friday, they will terminate the partnership with Anthropic and label the company a "supply chain risk" – a designation usually reserved for foreign adversaries.

"The Department has stated that it does not intend to conduct mass surveillance or use autonomous weapons without humans on the loop -- positions that we in Congress endorse," the letter from the Senate leaders reads. "It is clear, however, that the issue of 'lawful use' requires additional work by all stakeholders. We must determine whether additional legislative or regulatory language is required, and, if so, what that law and regulation should entail."

"By Friday, February 27, the DOD could essentially declare war not on a foreign nation but on one of America's most successful frontier AI companies if it does not bow to its demands," Adam Conner, the vice president for technology policy at American Progress, wrote in an article on their website.

"This would be an unprecedented and unnecessary peacetime move that sends the signal to other private companies that they must do the Trump administration's bidding or face existential consequences," Conner wrote.
