A federal ruling issued this Friday in Washington reveals new details about the U.S. military operation that culminated on January 3 with the capture of Nicolás Maduro. The ruling confirms that Claude, the artificial intelligence developed by Anthropic, was linked through Palantir to that mission. It also reveals that there were doubts and tensions regarding its use during the operation. The court does not explain exactly what Claude did. It does note that an executive from Anthropic questioned the use of its technology in a “sensitive military operation abroad.” The ruling itself links that episode to the operation to capture Maduro and later refers to it as a kinetic operation to capture a foreign head of state. Claude was not an external tool to the Pentagon. The Department of Defense and the intelligence community had been using its models since 2024 to work with classified material. Among other things, they were used to process documents, summarize threat assessments, and analyze intelligence. Anthropic even developed a specific version, Claude Gov, for national security agencies. Over time, it also authorized its use for analyzing foreign intelligence, designing weapon systems, and conducting offensive cyber operations. In the case of Venezuela, Claude could have served to process enormous amounts of intelligence before and during the assault, analyze surveillance information, locate or follow individuals, vehicles, or Venezuelan forces, summarize information for the commanders, and help update the situation on the ground. It could also have been involved in identifying threats or in planning movements and extraction. What it does reveal is the problem that arose during the operation. Anthropic had maintained limits on certain military uses of Claude, and one of its executives questioned what a Pentagon contractor was doing. This caused alarm. According to the court, within the Department of Defense, doubts arose about whether Anthropic's restrictions could cause the system to stop responding as expected in the middle of a mission. Officials feared that the software could malfunction or create a situation that endangered U.S. military forces. The Pentagon later demanded that Anthropic allow any legal use of Claude. The company refused to remove two limits: fully autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of Americans. The dispute ended with the decision to distance Anthropic from the Department of Defense systems and instead expand the contractual relationship with OpenAI. (translated)
