Anthropic revises usage policy to ban weapons software, armed autonomous vehicles, arrest recommendations and abuse of its models
Anthropic has revised its usage policy. The new rules prohibit software that operates weapons, the arming of autonomous vehicles, and recommending who should be arrested. For the first time, the policy also prohibits users from abusing the model. The revision came shortly after an appeals court upheld the Pentagon's designation of the company, and it sets out Anthropic's limits on military use in contract language rather than in public statements.
