US Judge Overturns National Security Supply Chain Risk Designation
A federal judge has blocked the Pentagon’s blacklisting of Anthropic, a company that makes AI models, after the company refused to allow the military to use its technology for surveillance or autonomous weapons. The judge found that the Pentagon’s decision was ‘illegal and baseless’ and that the government had overstepped its authority. Anthropic welcomed the ruling, saying it remained focused on working productively with the government to harness AI for national security. The decision was reported by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
