Defence secretary Pete Hegseth has publicly criticised Anthropic's boss Dario Amodei The US Department of Defence is no longer using Anthropic's AI tools, an official has told the BBC, months after it designated the company a supply chain risk on national security grounds.
国防部长皮特·赫格斯 (Pete Hegseth) 公开批评 Anthropic 的老板达里奥·阿莫代 (Dario Amodei) 一位官员告诉 BBC,美国国防部不再使用 Anthropic 的人工智能工具,几个月前美国国防部以国家安全为由将该公司指定为供应链风险。
The Pentagon "has ceased the use of Anthropic products", the department official said in a statement on Monday.
该部门官员周一在一份声明中表示,五角大楼“已停止使用 Anthropic 产品”。
Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth labelled Anthropic a supply chain risk in February, and announced that the Pentagon would stop using it by late August.
国防部长 Pete Hegseth 在 2 月份将 Anthropic 标记为供应链风险,并宣布五角大楼将在 8 月底之前停止使用它。
It is not clear why there has been a delay. Multiple people familiar with the matter told the BBC that as recently as last week Anthopic's Claude model was still being used by the department in research, analysis and intelligence gathering as well as in military operations against Iran.
目前尚不清楚为何出现延误。 多位知情人士告诉 BBC,就在上周,该部门仍在研究、分析和情报收集以及针对伊朗的军事行动中使用 Anthopic 的克劳德模型。
It was viewed as a critical tool for sorting through vast quantities of information, the people said.
知情人士说,它被视为整理大量信息的重要工具。
They include former US defence officials and contractors who have worked closely with the Pentagon specifically on AI. A spokesman for Anthropic declined to comment when asked about the Pentagon's statement.
他们包括前美国国防官员和承包商,他们专门在人工智能领域与五角大楼密切合作。 当被问及五角大楼的声明时,Anthropic 的发言人拒绝发表评论。
The details of the department stopping all use of Anthropic's tools have not been previously reported.
此前尚未报道过该部门停止使用 Anthropic 工具的详细信息。
The firm had been used by the US government and military since 2024 and was the first advanced AI company to have its tools deployed in government agencies doing classified work.
该公司自 2024 年以来一直被美国政府和军方使用,是第一家将其工具部署在从事机密工作的政府机构中的先进人工智能公司。
But earlier this year, the Pentagon pressed it to remove its safety guardrails from Claude and give the military unfettered access to its AI products.
但今年早些时候,五角大楼敦促其取消对克劳德的安全护栏,并允许军方不受限制地使用其人工智能产品。
When Anthropic refused, citing concerns of mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, Hegseth designated the company a "national security supply-chain risk" - a law typically reserved for companies based in countries that pose a threat to the US.
当 Anthropic 以大规模监控和自主武器的担忧为由拒绝时,赫格斯将该公司指定为“国家安全供应链风险”——这项法律通常适用于总部位于对美国构成威胁的国家的公司。
Anthropic said the move was "unprecedented and unlawful" and has sued the Trump administration in an effort to overturn the designation.
Anthropic 表示,此举“史无前例且非法”,并已起诉特朗普政府,试图推翻这一指定。
Trump administration illegally retaliated against Anthropic, judge rules Anthropic sues US government for calling it a risk Anthropic blocks possible attempt to use AI to make biological weapons Anthropic boss Dario Amodei calls for AI development to slow down As this legal fight has played out in the courts, the Pentagon has signed contracts with other major tech companies, including Google, xAI and OpenAI.
法官裁定特朗普政府对人类进行非法报复 Anthropic 起诉美国政府称其为风险 人择阻止了利用人工智能制造生物武器的可能尝试 人类老板 Dario Amodei 呼吁放慢人工智能发展速度 随着这场法律斗争在法庭上展开,五角大楼已与其他主要科技公司签署了合同,包括谷歌、xAI 和 OpenAI。
OpenAI tools have been more widely adopted in recent months in some military departments, according to two people familiar with AI use in the defence department The Pentagon's statement on Monday came in response to a question from the BBC about its use of Anthropic, after multiple people said in interviews that Claude was still being widely used.
两位熟悉国防部人工智能使用情况的人士表示,近几个月来,一些军事部门更广泛地采用了 OpenAI 工具 五角大楼周一发表声明是为了回应 BBC 关于其使用 Anthropic 的问题,此前多位人士在采访中表示,Claude 仍在被广泛使用。
It was embedded in a larger data platform used by the Pentagon called Maven Smart System, multiple sources said.
多个消息来源称,它被嵌入到五角大楼使用的一个名为 Maven 智能系统的更大数据平台中。
Maven, which is operated by Palantir, is the Pentagon's primary platform for organising intelligence and other data.
Maven 由 Palantir 运营,是五角大楼组织情报和其他数据的主要平台。
Lauren Kahn, a senior research analyst at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology said that because Claude was deeply integrated into Maven it would have been difficult to remove it quickly from the system.
乔治城安全与新兴技术中心的高级研究分析师 Lauren Kahn 表示,由于 Claude 已深度集成到 Maven 中,因此很难将其快速从系统中删除。
"The fact that it took the Pentagon until now to remove all use of Claude from across the system is indicative that these things are not just plug and play," she said.
“五角大楼直到现在才从整个系统中删除对克劳德的所有使用,这一事实表明这些东西不仅仅是即插即用的,”她说。
"Once they become integrated it can be painful to remove them," added Kahn, a former US defence official.
美国前国防官员卡恩补充道:“一旦它们整合起来,移除它们可能会很痛苦。”
Trump recently met with Anthropic boss Dario Amodei at the White House The BBC spoke with defence contractors who specialise in AI and have worked closely with the Pentagon, as well as former US defence officials and others familiar with the Pentagon's use of artificial intelligence.
特朗普最近在白宫会见了人类老板达里奥·阿莫代 英国广播公司采访了专门从事人工智能并与五角大楼密切合作的国防承包商,以及前美国国防部官员和其他熟悉五角大楼使用人工智能的人。
Several spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media.
一些人要求匿名,因为他们无权接受媒体采访。
When Hegseth initially ordered Anthropic to be phased out of government, "there was concern with moving beyond Anthropic to OpenAI" and other tools, a former senior US defence official said.
一位美国前高级国防官员表示,当 Hegseth 最初命令 Anthropic 逐步退出政府时,“人们对从 Anthropic 转向 OpenAI”和其他工具感到担忧。
Hegseth set a six-month deadline to phase out Anthropic on 27 February, one day before the US and Israel attacked Iran.
2 月 27 日,也就是美国和以色列袭击伊朗的前一天,Hegseth 设定了六个月的最后期限来逐步淘汰 Anthropic。
Pentagon employees continued to use Anthropic's Claude tools, including its powerful Mythos models, "throughout the whole period of the controversy" with the company, one of the people said.
其中一位知情人士表示,五角大楼员工在与公司“整个争议期间”继续使用 Anthropic 的 Claude 工具,包括其强大的 Mythos 模型。
Claude was used in particular for intelligence gathering and analysis, including through Palantir's Maven system, several sources said.
几位消息人士称,Claude 特别用于情报收集和分析,包括通过 Palantir 的 Maven 系统进行情报收集和分析。
Palantir, a leading defence tech firm, was founded by the billionaire ally of President Donald Trump, Peter Thiel. 'There is a possibility of human extinction,' former Anthropic employee says about AI Sources familiar with the way the technology is used said analysts and other defence officials rely on Maven to access and organise visual data, including satellite imagery and drone footage.
Palantir 是一家领先的国防科技公司,由唐纳德·特朗普总统的亿万富翁盟友彼得·泰尔创立。 前 Anthropic 员工谈及人工智能时表示:“人类有可能灭绝” 熟悉该技术使用方式的消息人士称,分析师和其他国防官员依靠 Maven 来访问和组织视觉数据,包括卫星图像和无人机镜头。
The data was then fed into Claude and other large language models for tasks such as identifying potential military targets. Officials frequently used the technology when compiling one-page briefs that were passed up the chain of command, according to a source who was given a demonstration of Maven by Palantir earlier this year.
然后,这些数据被输入 Claude 和其他大型语言模型,以执行识别潜在军事目标等任务。 据今年早些时候曾通过 Palantir 演示过 Maven 的消息人士透露,官员们在编写一页纸的简报并向上级传递时经常使用该技术。
Maven is also used by some US allies to share intelligence with the Trump administration.
一些美国盟友还利用 Maven 与特朗普政府共享情报。
Anthropic's clash with the Pentagon comes as relations with the White House appear to be warming.
人类与五角大楼发生冲突之际,其与白宫的关系似乎正在升温。
Trump met with Anthropic boss Dario Amodei twice at the White House last week.
特朗普上周在白宫两次会见了人类老板达里奥·阿莫代。
After one of the meetings with Trump and other technology leaders, Amodei said he still had concerns about risks posed by AI. "How we address those risks is still under discussion," Amodei told reporters at the White House, as Trump stood by his side, but "if we work with the president, we can win safely".
在与特朗普和其他技术领导人举行一次会议后,阿莫代表示,他仍然对人工智能带来的风险感到担忧。 “我们如何应对这些风险仍在讨论中,”阿莫迪在白宫对记者说,特朗普站在他一边,但“如果我们与总统合作,我们就能安全获胜”。
Trump then proceeded to praise Amodei, saying he was "great" and "fantastic."
特朗普随后赞扬阿莫代,称他“伟大”、“太棒了”。
