Their statement called out automatic weapons targeting and domestic surveillance as two lines they would not cross
Not targeting, automatic firing. They want a human to chose when to fire, but they AI can so the targeting.
But.. we already have automatic weapons targeting systems and the PATRIOT act, which enjoys bi-partisan support already providing basically limitless domestic surveillance.
Anthropic's statement specified mass domestic surveillance. Not all domestic surveillance. And fully autonomous weapons with today's systems. Not automatic targeting. And not never.
