Top names in the U.S.
defense industry got together last week for a meeting in West Palm Beach.
Here's our colleague, Amrit Ramkumar.
The Defense Technology Summit in Florida on Tuesday was really a gathering of some top Pentagon officials and people in the tech world.
And the motivation is to embed the most advanced technology throughout the U.S.
military.
These days, talking about tech, means talking about AI.
But there was one thing they were really buzzing about.
And that was the AI company, Anthropic, and the use of its tools in the military.
And it's the latest sort of development in this saga that's consumed a lot of Washington.
This saga goes back years and has to do with the way Anthropic's AI is being used.
clashing with the Pentagon over how the military uses Quad, Anthropics AI models.
And Anthropics is trying to put up some guardrails and prevent some uses.
And they've been fighting over that for many months now.
One of the loudest voices in the disagreement is Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Department of War AI will not be woke.
It will work for us.
We're building war-ready weapons and systems, not chatbots.

What is at stake here?
