"Judge Rita F. Lin noted that the supply chain risk designation is usually reserved for foreign intelligence agencies and terrorists, not for American companies. She stated, 'These broad measures do not appear to be directed at the government's stated national security interests.'"
"'If the concern is the integrity of the operational chain of command, the Department of War could just stop using Claude,' Lin remarked, indicating that the measures seem punitive towards Anthropic rather than focused on national security."
"Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei emphasized that he would not permit Claude to be utilized for autonomous weapons or to surveil American citizens, asserting the company's commitment to ethical AI use."
"The Pentagon argued that it is the military's prerogative to determine how to use tools acquired from contractors, stating, 'We will not allow a vendor to insert itself into the chain of command by restricting the lawful use of a critical capability.'"
A federal judge in San Francisco issued a preliminary injunction against the Pentagon's decision to label Anthropic as a supply chain risk. This ruling also paused a directive from President Trump that ordered federal agencies to cease using Anthropic's AI model, Claude. Judge Rita F. Lin stated that the supply chain risk designation is typically reserved for foreign threats, not American companies. The injunction arises from a dispute over the military's use of Claude, with Anthropic's CEO asserting restrictions on its application for autonomous weapons and surveillance.
