A US judge ruled that the Department of War lacked authority to blacklist AI company Anthropic as a supply-chain risk, calling it 'classic First Amendment retaliation' for public criticism. The court granted a preliminary injunction, finding no evidence of urgent national security risk. Anthropic remains concerned about future government contract opportunities despite the legal victory.
Background
Anthropic is an AI safety research company that develops large language models, competing in the government contracting space for AI deployment. The case involves constitutional protections for companies criticizing government policies.
