Anthropic hires lobbying firm Ballard Partners, after talks with the Pentagon fell apart over AI use restrictions

Anthropic announced on April 14 that it is partnering with the lobbying firm Ballard Partners, aiming to improve its relationship with the Department of Defense. The two sides had previously failed to reach an agreement due to disagreements over the scope of AI use: the Department of Defense wanted its tools to be used without restrictions, while Anthropic demanded limits on their use for fully autonomous weapons and surveillance.

AI medical care exposes discrimination! High-income patients receive precise testing, while Black patients and people experiencing homelessness are recommended for invasive treatment.

As a result, higher-income individuals are recommended higher-end tests, while disadvantaged groups are more likely to face improper medical treatment, which could worsen bias and increase the risk of clinical misdiagnosis. Experts are calling for the creation of monitoring mechanisms to ensure healthcare equity.

Boss, you don’t need to go into the office anymore! Meta is building Mark Zuckerberg’s digital twin—if you have anything to ask, just ask the AI.
