AI developer Anthropic has stated that its artificial intelligence systems do not feature a "kill switch" when deployed in classified environments, according to Axios. This comes as the company reportedly seeks to counter claims from the Pentagon regarding its control over AI technology used in military systems, AP News reports.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump indicated that Anthropic is "shaping up" and expressed openness to a potential deal for its use by the Department of Defense. Reuters and CNBC reported President Trump's comments, suggesting a deal is "possible" for Pentagon integration.
Separately, the Justice Department has requested a California judge to pause its ongoing appeal concerning Anthropic, as reported by Politico. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
