Anthropic stated in court documents that there is no "kill switch" for the AI model deployed to the Pentagon.

ME News, April 23 (UTC+8), according to Beating monitoring, Anthropic filed documents with the Washington Federal Court of Appeals stating that once its AI model is deployed in a Pentagon environment, the company has neither visibility nor the technical means to control or shut down the model, and there is no "kill switch." Anthropic also pointed out that the Pentagon had an opportunity to test the model before deployment. This document is the latest development in the dispute between Anthropic and the Pentagon over the "supply chain risk" label. In March, the Pentagon classified Anthropic as a supply chain risk, claiming that the company improperly interfered with how its technology is used in sensitive military operations. The core of the dispute is that Anthropic's usage policy prohibits Claude from being used for autonomous weapons or mass surveillance, which the Pentagon considers a "smokescreen." The litigation has now resulted in a split between two courts: the Washington court rejected Anthropic's request to suspend the supply chain risk label, while the California court granted it. The practical effect is that Anthropic cannot participate in new Pentagon contracts but can continue to serve other government agencies. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is pushing for the deployment of Anthropic's new model, Mythos, across federal agencies, with agency heads studying how to use Mythos to defend against cyberattacks, which contradicts the Pentagon's claim that Anthropic poses a national security risk. The next hearing is scheduled for May 19. (Source: BlockBeats)
