Who Controls AI? Anthropic, the Department of War, and the Palantir Effect

Who Controls AI? Anthropic, the Department of War, and the Palantir Effect

The Department of War wants unrestricted access to advanced AI.

Anthropic said no.

This is not a Silicon Valley culture fight. It is a power struggle over whether private tech firms can impose “ethical guardrails” on the U.S. military — and whether the federal government can legally force those guardrails to be removed.

At stake:

• Can the Pentagon compel compliance using the Defense Production Act? 
• What happens if an American AI company is labeled a “supply chain risk”? 
• Who really controls AI once it’s embedded into national security systems? 
• And where does Palantir fit into this expanding web of influence?

This OpEd breaks down the standoff in detail and then widens the lens to examine the concentration of AI power in a handful of infrastructure giants.

This is about authority. 
This is about control. 
This is about who decides how AI is used in the United States.

More about private intellectual property rights than anything else.

Anthropic can say 'No'.  The US Military can use legal means to take ownership.

Does the Government have absolute right to use or seize intellectual property against the will of its owner?

There’s the rub.

Regardless of who controls it, there are no winners.
