Approximately 700,000 technology workers in the U.S. have called on major firms like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft to maintain safety protocols in AI systems, as the Pentagon seeks to relax these guardrails. Organized by No Tech For Apartheid, the joint statement warns that removing safeguards from AI models, notably Anthropic's Claude, could lead to mass surveillance and lethal autonomous weaponry without human oversight. Workers stress the necessity for federal regulations to protect civil liberties in technology deployment.
