Anthropic partnered with Palantir to provide its advanced AI model Claude to the US government for data analysis and complex coding activities.
People were quick to question whether Amodei and Anthropic’s views on AI were mere virtue signalling and were disappointed about their partnership with the US government.
Anthropic released a statement urging governments to take action and bring in regulations to enforce the safe and ethical use of AI.
Concerns stem from Trump’s desire to loosen AI regulations and raise questions about whether it can set AI on a path towards aiding questionable wartime activities.
Anthropic has also been quite transparent about its intent to provide its technology for government use, but also wants to strike a balance between its two intentions.
With its commitment to ethics and morals, Anthropic wants to be the first to foster a strong relationship with the government.
One of Anthropic’s major investors is Amazon, and they are also set to raise another round of funds.
Anthropic has consistently championed safety and security, earning trust and partnerships with public sector companies.
OpenAI hasn’t been actively partnering with the government.
Walking the talk pays off, and this principle is reflected in AWS's strategic collaboration with Anthopic.
