About this episode
This week, OpenAI turns to consultants to get more companies to integrate AI coworkers.
Plus, Apple will be making its Mac Mini in Texas.
But first, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei this week, reportedly asking for unfettered access to the company’s AI model. If not, Hegseth has threatened to cancel a $200 million dollar contract the Pentagon has with the company. This comes after Anthropic's AI model Claude was reportedly used as part of the operation to capture former Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro.
Anthropic has said it doesn't want its technology used to develop weapons or for mass surveillance of Americans.
Marketplace’s Stephanie Hughes spoke with Axios tech policy reporter Maria Curi to learn more on this week’s “Tech Bytes: Week in Review.”
