Washington | US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has threatened to invoke wartime powers against Anthropic that would allow the government to force the AI firm to hand over its novel technology in the name of national security, people familiar with the ongoing discussions said.
Hegseth gave Anthropic’s chief executive a Friday deadline to open the company’s artificial intelligence technology for unrestricted military use or risk losing its lucrative government contract, during tense talks on Tuesday (Wednesday AEDT).
