The U.S. government's push to deploy advanced AI in military operations has triggered the most significant confrontation between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon since Google's Project Maven revolt in 2018. After Anthropic was designated a "supply chain risk" for refusing to remove safeguards against domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons, rival OpenAI rushed to fill the void — only to face its own internal rebellion, including the resignation of its robotics lead. Nearly a thousand tech workers have signed open letters demanding guardrails, raising fundamental questions about who decides how the world's most powerful AI systems are used in warfare.
