Trump issues AI, data center position; Anthropic CEO defends record on safety, sales to China

[Video ID] Leaders of the Pentagon’s Project Agincourt outlined a roadmap to establish an Autonomous Warfare Command by Oct. 1, 2027, aiming to speed the development and fielding of drones and other autonomous systems. In an open letter to military and industry partners, Owen West and Senior Chief Max Strasiser said the command would pair robotics companies directly with frontline units and judge new systems by their performance in exercises and combat — not paperwork milestones. The effort responds to the battlefield impact of low-cost drones and seeks to help U.S. forces adapt faster, the letter said. “Urgency does not excuse imprecision,” West and Strasiser wrote, pledging to evaluate which technologies should scale and cut those that do not meet operational needs.
