Anthropic’s case against the Pentagon could open space for AI regulation

A California judge says the defence department may be ‘attempting to cripple Anthropic’ for pushing for restrictions on AI weapons.
San Francisco, United States: A California judge has set the stage for a potential victory for Anthropic in its push for regulation of weapons powered by artificial intelligence, a drawback for the administration of United States President Donald Trump, which brings the company a step closer to not losing billions in government contracts.
The Trump administration had designated Anthropic a “supply chain risk” for its stance on increased regulation, a move that would block the company from certain military contracts.
The United States Department of Defense may be illegally trying to punish Anthropic for attempting to restrict the use of its artificial intelligence (AI) models for weapons without human supervision or for mass surveillance, a district judge has said.
“It looks like an attempt to cripple Anthropic,” Judge Rita Lin of the Northern California district court said on Tuesday.
Legal analysts say this could set the stage for providing Anthropic a preliminary injunction from being labelled a supply chain risk by the Defense Department.
