Anthropic's model was reportedly used by Palantir Technologies in the daring Delta Force raid to capture Maduro, which allegedly included bombing multiple high-value sites in Caracas last month.
An Anthropic spokesman told the outlet that, for any specific operation, the DoD must comply with its policies. Notably, the use of Claude to facilitate violence, develop weapons, or conduct surveillance is prohibited.
"We cannot comment on whether Claude, or any other AI model, was ...
