US EditionAnthropic and Pentagon Head to Court as AI Firm Seeks End to ‘Stigmatizing’ Supply Chain Risk Label
Anthropic challenges the Pentagon's first-ever supply chain risk label for a U.S. company, citing retaliation for AI safety principles and seeking to halt federal bans on its AI use.
- On Tuesday, Anthropic is asking U.S. District Judge Rita Lin in San Francisco to temporarily halt the Pentagon's "unprecedented and stigmatizing" designation of the company as a supply chain risk.

- Judge Lin must determine during today's hearing whether the government's actions would "chill a person of ordinary firmness" from engaging in future protected speech under First Amendment law.
