A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Pentagon can exclude Anthropic's Claude artificial intelligence models from its supply chain, rejecting the company's challenge to a national security designation imposed after a dispute over restrictions on autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied Anthropic's petitions for review in a 2-1 decision, finding that the Department of War had sufficient grounds to conclude that Claude presented a supply chain risk under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act.
