But on the flip side, it also poses a great threat to humanity. Even Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei admitted that the AI research lab doesn&#8217;t understand exactly how its own models work.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Anthropic, which touts itself as the most safety-conscious of the top research labs, refused a Pentagon contract that would have allowed Claude to be used for mass surveillance of American citizens and autonomous weapons systems. However, OpenAI signed the agreement with the Pentagon to provide its artificial intelligence technologies for classified systems.<\/p>\n<p id=\"18b9e587-3b6e-4dd7-82e7-480e466da5c9-2\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Anthropic rejected the agreement because the U.S. Defense Department demanded unrestricted military use of its Claude AI models. Consequently, US President Trump&#8217;s administration banned all federal agencies from using Anthropic products after designating the company as a supply chain risk.<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"font-article-heading block pb-3 !text-base font-bold uppercase sm:text-sm text-[#333]\"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here is re-post of an internal post:We have been working with the DoW to make some additions in our agreement to make our principles very clear.1.

In the fast-moving digital era, the company quickly became a target of cancel culture, with hashtags like \u201cCancel ChatGPT\u201d and \u201cQuitGPT\u201d going viral within hours of the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>While Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI soared to the top spot as the No. 1 free app in the U.S. App Store, ChatGPT saw uninstall rates spike by nearly 300%.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that the company had rushed into its recent deal with the U.S. Department of Defense. He further revealed that OpenAI plans to amend parts of the contract, adding new language to reinforce its principles on&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.windowscentral.com\/artificial-intelligence\/sam-altman-backpedals-as-chatgpt-uninstalls-surge-295-percent\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ChatGPT uninstalls surge 295% amid backlash https:\/\/www.windowscentral.com\/artificial-intelligence\/sam-altman-backpedals-as-chatgpt-uninstalls-surge-295-percent Publish Date: 2026-03-03 12:27:00 Source Domain: www.windowscentral.com Generative&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":219459,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/h85u5HzxSWFoCJA6xts6th-2560-80.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[19],"class_list":["post-219458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-generative-ai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219458"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219458"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219458\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219460,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219458\/revisions\/219460"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
