A viral essay by AI company owner Matt Schumer declared that "something big is happening" in artificial intelligence — and the numbers seem to agree. Investors are dumping software stocks as businesses ask why they'd pay for Salesforce or QuickBooks when Claude can do the same work. But the bigger story is what's happening behind closed doors between Anthropic and the Department of Defense. It's emerged that Claude was used in the planning and execution of the U.S. operation in Venezuela — and the Pentagon wants to use AI models however it sees fit, with no guarantees that Claude won't control autonomous weapons or be used to surveil American citizens. Anthropic is pushing back, and the Trump administration is threatening to label them a supply chain risk for doing so. Sarah and Beth discuss what it means that a private corporation is drawing the ethical lines around military AI when our government won't — and what moral guidance we'll need as this technology reshapes entire industries and the workforce as we know it.
Pantsuit Politics is a podcast hosted by Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers, dedicated to nuanced political conversations.
