Anthropic has just refused a $200M Pentagon deal that demanded “all lawful use” of its AI, including potentially fully autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. As the deadline passes, the US Defence Department turns to Elon Musk’s xAI instead, raising the question: who should control America’s war AI, elected governments or private tech companies?
In this Front Page episode, we break down why Anthropic walked away, how the Pentagon is using tools like the Defence Production Act to pressure AI labs, and what this power struggle means for your data, future wars, and the global AI race.
