Vitalik Buterin supports AI company Anthropic in resisting White House military technology usage demands

ChainCatcher News: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly supports AI company Anthropic’s stance against the U.S. military using its technology for fully autonomous weapons and mass surveillance.

The U.S. Secretary of Defense has issued a final warning to Anthropic, demanding that the company grant the military broad access to its AI models by this Friday, or risk being classified as a “supply chain risk.” Meanwhile, Citrini Research’s latest report predicts that AI will cause U.S. unemployment to exceed 10% by 2028, triggering panic on Wall Street and causing related stocks to plummet. Anthropic’s recent valuation has reached $380 billion, with approximately 80% of its revenue coming from enterprise clients.
