Anthropic Vs The Pentagon

 Is that true?

So, Anthropic does not want to allow mass surveillance and autonomous killer machines.

The whole point is that this is a prerequisite for being able to get an AI contract with the U.S. military who is not into mass surveillance, but defence and war fighting using military means. Also, machines cannot have a Rank and therefore may not do life and death decisions. Actually, they may not do any decisions without approval of a dedicated soldier in charge.

That means, that an AI system may automatically drive a vehicle back based on military personal orders, that an AI can refill supplies by sending requests in-between logistics hubs, if given order by a surveying soldier in charge of the task, but it may not do independent decisions by the lack of a rank within the military.

To the opposite, do I wonder if Anthropic can guarantee which levels of security, safety and secrecy for the decision making and answering process from terminals and access points from within the U.S. military to it's Servers.

PS: Who ever now argues that a soldier can give order to a Terminator to kill, I would like to refer to quality standards within the military. Every weapon system in use needs quality and precision standards. Weapons of mass destruction are in general illegal.

Knowing that AI can fulfill important assistance tasks within the military supporting operational readiness by integration into the administration, why would any Dollar be diverted to knowingly little chance of successfully achieving highest quality standards systems?

The Terminator robot striding through enemy territory would need to be able to destinguish between military and civilian target, understand surrender and false surrender, have perfect enemy or friend separation capability better than a comparable soldier.

I bet they can't turn an RC race drone into a recon AI system outperforming a trained soldier... but will ask for millions in funding to create SkyNet.
