Are the corporations that release the powerful technology the arbiters of its fate? Or should that power be vested in the hands of the government?<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Palmer Luckey, the founder of defense company Anduril\u2014which aims to modernize the U.S. military\u2014thinks the answer is straightforward: Give the power to the government. In a recent <a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fihb7WeB9bc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fihb7WeB9bc\">interview<\/a> with the <em>New York Post<\/em>, the billionaire founder weighed in on a burgeoning debate around who gets to determine how AI is used by the government.<\/p>\n<p>For the billionaire, it\u2019s up to the government, and therefore, the people, to make specific use decisions. Otherwise, tech companies could imperil democracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to stick to a position that this is in the hands of the people,\u201d he said. \u201cAnyone who says that a defense company should be going beyond the law, beyond what legislators and elected leaders say in terms of who they\u2019ll work with and not, you are effectively saying you do not believe in this democratic experiment, that you want a \u2018corporatocracy.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn all cases, whoever the United States government tells me that I can and cannot sell to,\u201d he continued, \u201cto have any other position is to fall further into \u2026\u00a0basically corporate executives having de facto control over U.S. foreign policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luckey\u2019s thoughts come as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei <a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/2026\/02\/28\/anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-patriotic-americans-trump-hegseth-mass-surveillance-autonomous-weapons\/\" href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2026\/02\/28\/anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-patriotic-americans-trump-hegseth-mass-surveillance-autonomous-weapons\/\">refused<\/a> to allow the Pentagon full use of the company\u2019s AI systems for mass surveillance or to power fully autonomous weapons that operate without human oversight. As a result, the Department of Defense <a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/2026\/03\/06\/pentagon-officially-defines-anthropic-as-supply-chain-risk\/\" href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2026\/03\/06\/pentagon-officially-defines-anthropic-as-supply-chain-risk\/\">labeled<\/a> the AI company a \u201csupply-chain risk,\u201d a designation usually reserved for foreign adversarial firms, such as the Chinese-based <a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/company\/huawei-investment-holding\/\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/company\/huawei-investment-holding\/\">Huawei<\/a>. Amodei said the label won\u2019t have much of an impact on the company\u2019s business, and that it <a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/2026\/03\/06\/anthropic-openai-ceo-apologizes-leaked-memo-supply-chain-risk-designation\/\" href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2026\/03\/06\/anthropic-openai-ceo-apologizes-leaked-memo-supply-chain-risk-designation\/\">will sue<\/a> to overturn the designation. Still, it remains in discussions with the Pentagon regarding use of its AI models and tools.<\/p>\n<p>But Amodei, along with Anthropic\u2019s other cofounders\u2014who had departed OpenAI together to build a company that they say prioritizes AI safety\u2014maintain that what the Pentagon requests crosses the line. \u201cThese threats do not change our position: We cannot in good conscience accede to their request,\u201d Amodei said in a <a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.anthropic.com\/news\/statement-department-of-war\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anthropic.com\/news\/statement-department-of-war\">press release<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic didn\u2019t immediately respond to <em>Fortune<\/em>\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Silicon Valley vs. Washington<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Department of Defense\u2014and figures like Luckey\u2014don\u2019t think it\u2019s within the hands of a private contractor to dictate use cases, and instead argue that\u2019s within the powers of the government. Shortly after the Anthropic agreement came crumbling down last month, Sam Altman\u2019s OpenAI reached an agreement with the Pentagon to <a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/2026\/02\/27\/openai-in-talks-with-pentagon-after-anthropic-blowup\/\" href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2026\/02\/27\/openai-in-talks-with-pentagon-after-anthropic-blowup\/\">allow use<\/a> of the startup\u2019s AI models and tools. Elon Musk\u2019s xAI also <a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2026\/02\/23\/ai-defense-department-deal-musk-xai-grok\" href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2026\/02\/23\/ai-defense-department-deal-musk-xai-grok\">reached a deal<\/a> to let the Pentagon use its AI, adding competition to Anthropic\u2019s once-exclusive partnership.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic isn\u2019t the first tech company to push back against the DOD. As Luckey notes during the interview, <a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/company\/alphabet\/\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/company\/alphabet\/\">Google<\/a> walked away from the Pentagon in 2018, pulling out of <a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/2018\/03\/06\/google-department-defense-drone-ai\/\" href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2018\/03\/06\/google-department-defense-drone-ai\/\">Project Maven<\/a>, which involved AI drone footage analysis, after thousands of employees protested involvement in the program out of fears it could lead to autonomous weapons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat you would have had is a world where Silicon Valley executives would have had more foreign policy power than the president of the United States,\u201d Luckey said. \u201cThat\u2019s really, really dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Luckey, it comes down to whether top-level decisions on AI\u2019s usage belong to Silicon Valley or Washington. His view is that, regardless of who is in the White House, tech companies, and the private sector more broadly, have a responsibility to adhere to that administration\u2019s foreign policy decisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But even as the Anthropic-Pentagon conflict balloons, Amodei said in a <a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.anthropic.com\/news\/where-stand-department-war\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anthropic.com\/news\/where-stand-department-war\">press release<\/a> Thursday the two parties are able to find some common ground. \u201cAnthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who should control AI?
