US Appeals Court Upholds Pentagon's Supply Chain Risk Designation Against Anthropic
A US appeals court upheld the Pentagon's designation of AI company Anthropic as a supply chain risk, allowing the military to exclude its Claude AI technology due to concerns over safeguards restricting use in autonomous weapons and surveillance. This ruling supports the Trump administration's national security stance but contrasts with a separate California court decision that found a broader government ban unlawful. Anthropic disputes the designation and is considering further legal options, while the Pentagon has shifted contracts to competitors like OpenAI and others.
