Senator Elizabeth Warren just accused President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth of trying to “extort” the AI company Anthropic. According to The Hill, Warren claims it’s an attempt to remove critical guardrails from Artificial Intelligence programs to “advance their authoritarian agenda.”
Warren said in a statement that this move would ditch “common sense guardrails that protect Americans from mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons, with no human decision-makers, that can kill with impunity.” She’s calling on Hegseth to testify before Congress right away to explain what she sees as an “extraordinary abuse of power” and to address the national security risks involved.
