The most important question nobody's asking about AI.

Following Anthropic's refusal to permit its AI models for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, the Department of Defense has designated the company a "supply chain risk" and threatened coercive measures under the Defense Production Act to force compliance. With AI projected to automate 99% of the workforce within two decades, legal loopholes in the Fourth Amendment and plummeting surveillance costs create an imminent environment where the government could leverage its purchasing power to dismantle corporate moral boundaries. Although some predict a 74% chance the restrictions will be overturned, the analysis suggests that without new political norms explicitly banning state-led AI surveillance, the technology's diffusion will eventually allow the government to achieve universal monitoring regardless of individual vendor resistance.
