The Fight Against AI-Powered Surveillance with Adam Savage

When the Pentagon formally designated Anthropic a "supply chain risk" this March, the dispute put a spotlight on civil liberties concerns in the AI-era. Anthropic had reportedly hit an impasse with the Trump administration over the company’s push for guardrails banning the use of its Claude model to conduct mass surveillance. Anthropic’s CEO had called such surveillance a “red line” it would not cross. But where exactly should those lines be drawn, and who should draw them? Cohn will be joined by Adam Savage, former co-host of the Discovery Channel show "Mythbusters," to talk about the issues raised in her book, EFF's work. and the emerging battle over AI surveillance.
