On August 28, an American judge put a stop to the Pentagon's plan to blacklist Anthropic on Thursday. This represents the most recent turn of events in a high-stakes conflict between Anthropic and the US military regarding AI safety on the battlefield. Anthropic has initiated a lawsuit against US Secretary of Defense Hegseth in a California federal court, alleging that he exceeded his authority by designating Anthropic as a risk to the national security supply chain. According to relevant regulations, the government possesses the authority to label companies as supply chain risks if they could potentially allow military systems to be infiltrated or disrupted by hostile forces. Earlier, Anthropic declined to permit the military to utilize its AI chatbot, Claude, for US surveillance purposes or the development of autonomous weapons. Hegseth's unprecedented action has led to Anthropic's inability to secure specific military contracts. Anthropic executives have expressed that this move could result in the company losing billions of dollars in business and harming its reputation.
