Anthropic has entered into open conflict with the U.S. Department of Defense after refusing to grant the military unlimited access to its AI. The result is a historic blacklisting and a heated debate about who truly sets the boundaries for wartime technology.

The EU's artificial intelligence regulations are making their way into Norwegian law, and businesses are now being warned not to repeat the same costly mistakes made when GDPR was introduced.

Anthropic and the U.S. Department of Defense are in open conflict over whether Claude can be used in autonomous weapon systems and mass surveillance — and the dispute raises fundamental questions about who truly sets the rules for military AI.
