"All Lawful Use": Much More Than You Wanted To Know
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth designated AI firm Anthropic a supply‑chain risk after it refused to let the Department of War use its models for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons. Hours later, OpenAI announced an agreement‑in‑principle to fill the gap, promising that its models would not be used for those purposes but offering only vague “all lawful use” language. Legal experts argue that existing surveillance statutes contain broad loopholes and that DoW policy on autonomous weapons is intentionally vague, leaving OpenAI’s safeguards questionable. The episode highlights the tension between national‑security demands and AI governance safeguards.
