Federal Appeals Court Upholds Defense Department Decision
A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of the Pentagon, allowing it to label Anthropic, an artificial intelligence lab, as a supply chain risk. The decision enables the Pentagon to continue removing Anthropic’s Claude models from its systems and prohibits the use of its products for Defense Department work. The ruling is a significant development in the ongoing dispute between Anthropic and the government, which began earlier this year when President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accused the company of endangering national security. This case was reported by an unknown source.
