Back to EpisodesEp 324: Deal or No AI Deal? OpenAI and Anthropic On Going To War
Description
What happens when AI ethics collide with military power?
In this episode, I unpack the high-stakes negotiations between OpenAI and Anthropic and the U.S. Department of Defense. Both companies drew the same red lines: no mass domestic surveillance and no fully autonomous weapons, yet only OpenAI walked away with a Pentagon deal.
So what made the difference?
I explore how the framing of AI safety, national security, and public messaging shaped the outcome, and what it could mean for the future of AI governance.
