MIT AI Hype Index Returns: AI Goes to War — Anthropic/Pentagon Feud, OpenAI's 'Opportunistic' Defense Deal
MIT Technology Review's AI Hype Index returns with a focus on AI militarization: Anthropic and the Pentagon feuded over Claude weaponization guardrails, then OpenAI swept the Pentagon contract in what MIT describes as an 'opportunistic and sloppy' deal. The index also tracks the ChatGPT user exodus following the Anthropic/Pentagon standoff. This is MIT's periodic calibration of which AI developments are overhyped vs. underhyped, providing a useful signal/noise filter for practitioners.
