U.S. Appeals Court Upholds Pentagon's Supply Chain Ban on Anthropic AI Company
A U.S. federal appeals court upheld the Pentagon's designation of AI company Anthropic as a national security supply chain risk, rejecting the company's challenge. The dispute arose after Anthropic refused Pentagon demands to remove safeguards restricting the use of its Claude AI in autonomous lethal weapons and mass surveillance. This ruling allows the Pentagon to exclude Anthropic from military contracts, though a separate California court ruling found a related government ban unlawful. Anthropic disagrees with the decision and is considering further legal options.
