NewzA U.S. federal judge has ruled that the Pentagon’s blacklisting of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic was unlawful. The court determined that the sanctions, originally imposed in February, were an illegal attempt to penalize the company for its public criticism of the Department of Defense and its refusal to grant unrestricted military access to its technology.
In the ruling, the judge stated that the government’s invocation of national security concerns did not grant it the authority to punish critics. The decision effectively overturns the designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk, asserting that national security claims cannot be used as a justification for punitive administrative actions.
