Comment by Ron Wyden
U.S. Senator from Oregon, Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee; longtime advocate for healthcare and technology policy
The Defense Department is throwing a fit over Anthropic asking for the bare minimum ethical guardrails on how DOD uses its product. That's serious cause for alarm, given AI's ability to turn disparate pieces of public or commercial data into highly revealing profiles of Americans.

Checked author attribution, year, relevance, vote alignment, and source. The Gizmodo source_url returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim from that exact article: Wyden said "The Defense Department is throwing a fit over Anthropic asking for the bare minimum ethical guardrails on how DOD uses its product" and warned of "AI's ability to turn disparate pieces of public or commercial data into highly revealing profiles of Americans." Year 2026 is current and relevant (Pentagon-Anthropic dispute). Vote "for" the statement "Ban governments from using AI to conduct mass surveillance of citizens" correctly aligns with Wyden's expressed alarm over AI-enabled mass surveillance. Source is the primary article carrying the quote.
