US Judge Blocks Pentagon's Blacklisting of AI Company Anthropic Over Security Risk
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 retaliatory. The Pentagon had labeled Anthropic after it refused to allow its Claude AI models to be used for autonomous weapons or domestic surveillance. Judge Rita Lin found the government's action exceeded its authority and violated constitutional protections, emphasizing that national security cannot justify punishing government critics. Anthropic welcomed the ruling and expressed willingness to collaborate on AI for national security.
