US Judge Blocks Pentagon's Blacklisting of AI Company Anthropic
A US federal judge blocked the Pentagon's designation of AI company Anthropic as a national security supply-chain risk, ruling the move "illegal and baseless." The Pentagon had labeled Anthropic after it refused to allow its AI model Claude to be used for autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance, citing safety and civil liberties concerns. The judge stated that national security cannot be used to punish government critics. Anthropic argued the designation could cause significant financial and reputational harm.
