The officials also said the military is simply asking for a license to use the AI strictly for lawful activities.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic&#8217;s CEO, Dario Amodei, also wants to ensure Claude is not used by the Pentagon for final targeting decisions in military operations without any human involvement, one source familiar with the negotiations said. Claude is not immune from hallucinations and not reliable enough to avoid potentially lethal mistakes, like unintended escalation or mission failure without human judgment, the person said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a meeting at the Pentagon on Tuesday morning, Hegseth gave Amodei until the end of this week to give the military a signed document that would grant full access to its artificial intelligence model, according to sources familiar with the matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\"
