OpenAI CEO Sam Altman criticised Anthropic during a conference, saying it is “bad for society” when companies defy government authority. The remarks came after Anthropic refused a Pentagon demand to allow unrestricted use of its Claude AI models, citing risks around autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of Americans.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman took aim at rival Anthropic during remarks at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference, declaring it is “bad for society” when companies abandon their commitment to the democratic process - a pointed broadside aimed squarely at Anthropic’s public clash with the Pentagon.
'Government more powerful than private companies'
“The government is supposed to be more powerful than private companies,” Altman told the conference, adding that it undermines the democratic process when corporations resist government authority because “some people don’t like the person or people currently in charge.” The remark was widely interpreted as a critique of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s decision to refuse the Department of Defense’s demands over the use of its Claude AI system.
