Court to Pentagon: You’re ‘wrong’ in banning Anthropic, labelling it supply chain risk

A San Francisco judge has struck down the Pentagon’s blacklisting of Anthropic, describing the action as a violation of the First Amendment. The Department of Defense’s concerns over the AI company’s operations were challenged by Anthropic, which sought promises that its technology wouldn’t be used in autonomous warfare. This victory may pave the way for Anthropic’s upcoming IPO, lifting legal obstacles imposed by the military department.
