WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) - The Pentagon has told its senior leaders that use of Anthropic's AI tools may continue beyond a previously announced six-month phase-out period if deemed critical to national security, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters.
The memo is dated March 6 and signed by Pentagon Chief Information Officer Kirsten Davies. It says the exemptions can be authorized "in rare and extraordinary circumstances" and "will only be considered for mission-critical activities directly supporting national security operations where no viable alternative exists."
