March 6 (Reuters) - ⁠The Trump administration ⁠has drawn up strict ‌rules for civilian artificial intelligence contracts that would require ​AI companies to ⁠allow "any lawful" ⁠use of their models amid ⁠a ‌stand-off between the Pentagon and ⁠Anthropic, the Financial Times reported ​on ‌Friday.

A draft of the ⁠new ​guidelines reviewed by the FT says AI ⁠groups seeking to do ​business with the government must grant the U.S. ⁠an irrevocable license to use their systems for all legal purposes, ​the report ⁠added.

Reuters could not immediately ​verify the ‌report.
