Anthropic sues Trump administration over Pentagon's 'supply chain risk' designation

Anthropic has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California challenging a Trump‑era directive that labeled the AI startup a national‑security "supply chain risk" and ordered federal agencies to stop using its technology. The company argues the designation was retaliatory, issued after Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei, publicly urged the administration to maintain strict safety protocols for AI systems. The case could set a precedent for how AI firms are regulated in defense contexts.
