U.S. Vice President JD Vance had some unusually strong words for Anthropic on the All-In Podcast.

If an AI company develops technology that can be used for harmful purposes, such as cyberattacks, he believes that company has an obligation to help others defend themselves against those capabilities rather than relying primarily on government regulation.

---- "Why is it that the people who are at the frontier of the AI economy are throwing up their hands and saying, “Well, we’ve built Frankenstein,” and the solution to Frankenstein, apparently, is to create a one-world governance structure for artificial intelligence?

What I would say to those people is: if you’re building Frankenstein, stop. Or maybe, if the cat is out of the bag, then build the defensive mechanism against Frankenstein.

At the same time, that you have this sort of cyber-hacking tool that’s come out of Anthropic’s newest models, you have companies that are desperate for the defensive mechanisms to defend against that cyber-hacking tool, and they’re being denied access to it.

So, if you’re going to create Frankenstein, don’t come to the government and say, “We need regulation.” Look inward and accept that if you’re building Frankenstein, number one, you should stop.

And number two, when the companies come to you and say, “We need the tools to fight back against Frankenstein,” give them those tools."
