Anthropic and U.S. government to face off in DC court over blacklisting of AI company

Anthropic, an AI company, is suing the U.S. Department of Defense in federal court after the DOD labeled it a "supply chain risk" (a designation suggesting it threatens national security), which requires defense contractors to stop using Anthropic's Claude AI models in military work. The court judges questioned whether the DOD properly justified this blacklisting, with one judge calling it a "spectacular overreach," while the DOD argued it needed to act quickly to notify agencies about the risk.
