As government use of AI tools grows, frontier labs are becoming increasingly relevant in national security. AI safety is no longer a technical problem—it’s also a question of who gets to set the rules. A recent dispute between Anthropic and the Department of Defense highlighted the importance of this issue, raising hard questions about military use, safeguards, and ethics.

This month, we will use the dispute as an opportunity to examine AI lab commitments and what happens when they clash with government demands. We will also touch on the recent changes that Anthropic has made to their Responsible Scaling Policy. Join us to discuss the current hot topic in AI safety!
