“Storm” in the US over the Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Capture of Maduro

The use of the Anthropic's Claude artificial intelligence model by the US military to capture Nicolás Maduro is causing reactions in the US. A Wall Street Journal report states that Claude was used in the operation, without clarifying how it was used. The case highlights the difficulties faced by artificial intelligence companies in balancing cooperation with the military and setting limits on the use of their models, especially in matters of violence and surveillance. Anthropic's guidelines prohibit the use of Claude for such purposes. The Pentagon is reviewing its cooperation with Anthropic, while the Secretary of Defense wants the rapid integration of artificial intelligence into the armed forces.
