The Wall Street Journal reported today: "According to sources, Anthropic's AI tool Claude was used by the U.S. military in the operation to capture former Venezuelan President Maduro, highlighting how AI models are increasingly favored by the Pentagon. Anthropic is the first AI model developer to be used by the U.S. Department of Defense for classified operations."
Comment: This is a landmark step in the militarization and hegemonization of AI technology. Claude being used by the U.S. military to capture a foreign head of state marks that civilian AI companies have completely yielded to the Pentagon. The so-called promises of "safety, neutrality, and not doing evil" are worthless in front of the state machine.
The United States uses advanced AI to infringe on sovereignty, overthrow regimes, and implement unilateral sanctions, turning AI into a precision strike tool for hegemonic countries, posing significant risks to global security.
