flag Anthropic abandoned its safety-first AI development policy under pressure from the U.S. Defense Department and competition.

flag Anthropic has abandoned its strict Responsible Scaling Policy, no longer committing to halt AI development over safety concerns if competitors are advancing faster. flag The change, driven by competitive pressure and lack of federal regulation, replaces binding safeguards with a nonbinding "Frontier Safety Roadmap" of public goals. flag The shift follows escalating demands from the U.S. Defense Department, which threatened to invoke the Defense Production Act and cut a $200 million contract unless Anthropic relaxed its restrictions. flag While the company maintains it won’t allow AI use in autonomous weapons or mass surveillance, the move marks a significant pivot from its original safety-first stance amid growing industry pressure to prioritize speed and national security interests.
