U.S. appeals court upholds Pentagon designation of Anthropic as supply chain risk
- On Sept. 25, the Columbia Circuit Court ruled 2-1 to uphold the Pentagon's designation of Anthropic as a national-security supply-chain risk, allowing the Government to bar the AI company from future defense contracts.
- The Pentagon designated Anthropic a national-security risk earlier after the company refused to remove code preventing Claude from performing autonomous warfare and domestic surveillance, prompting Anthropic to sue the Government.
- Circuit Judge Gregory Katsas, joined by Circuit Judge Neomi Rao, wrote that the Pentagon had sufficient reason to label Anthropic's AI a supply-chain risk, rejecting claims the label violated free speech protections.

- Circuit Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson dissented, arguing the law does not cover a contractor's "honest and upfront enforcement of restrictions," while a federal judge in San Francisco previously struck down a parallel designation.
