OpenAI, Google Researchers Back Anthropic's Pentagon Lawsuit Over AI Risk Label

• Nearly 40 OpenAI and Google employees, including Jeff Dean, filed an amicus brief supporting Anthropic's lawsuit against the Pentagon.
• Anthropic sued the Department of Defense over its "supply chain risk" designation, which bars it from military contracts and affects partners.
• The AI company refused to allow its models for domestic mass surveillance or fully autonomous weapons systems without human involvement.
• Researchers warn AI could enable real-time mass surveillance and that autonomous weapons are unpredictable, lacking human judgment.
• Signatories call for safeguards against AI misuse for surveillance or lethal autonomous weapons without human oversight.
