In recent days, a public dispute has laid bare tensions between AI companies and the US military over who decides how the AI is used. The US Department of Defense cancelled Anthropic’s AI agent Claude and instead struck a deal with OpenAI. Where constitutional protection is limited to domestic surveillance, the rest of the world becomes a legitimate target of AI-enabled mass surveillance.
