Pentagon ban of Anthropic faces judge; Claude AI maker seeks injunction

Anthropic, maker of Claude AI, is asking a federal judge to temporarily block the Pentagon's ban on its technology, which the Department of Defense designated as a supply chain risk (a classification meaning the technology supposedly threatens U.S. national security). The company argues the ban is retaliation for demanding the Pentagon not use Claude for autonomous weapons or mass surveillance, and says it could lose billions in business without court intervention.
