Federal Court Finds Retaliation Against AI Firm Violates First Amendment
A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration’s clampdown on AI firm Anthropic violates the First Amendment. The Pentagon’s designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk was deemed unlawful and arbitrary, and the court has ordered the Defense Department to rescind the designation. The ruling comes after Anthropic refused to allow its technology to be used for mass surveillance, which the government claimed was a national security threat. The decision was reported by Reason.
