[U.S. Judge Blocks Pentagon from Blacklisting Anthropic] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on Thursday, August 28, a U.S. judge blocked the Pentagon's decision to blacklist Anthropic. This marks the latest development in the high-stakes dispute between the Claude developer and the U.S. military over battlefield AI safety concerns. Anthropic filed a lawsuit in federal court in California, accusing U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth of overstepping his authority by designating Anthropic as a national security supply chain risk. Under relevant regulations, the government can classify companies as supply chain risks if they pose potential threats of infiltration or sabotage by hostile forces to military systems. Previously, Anthropic had refused to allow the military to use its AI chatbot Claude for U.S. surveillance or autonomous weapons development. Hegseth's unprecedented action has prevented Anthropic from securing certain military contracts. Anthropic executives stated that this move could result in business losses amounting to billions of dollars and damage the company's reputation. (Jin10)
