An artificial intelligence company is taking legal action to challenge the Pentagon’s classification of the firm as a potential security threat to government supply chains.
Anthropic submitted documents to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Wednesday, requesting an immediate halt to the Defense Department’s risk designation while the matter undergoes court review.
According to court filings, Anthropic argues that the Pentagon’s classification would result in “irreparable harm” to the company’s operations.
The AI firm has simultaneously launched a separate legal challenge in California federal court, aiming to prevent the Pentagon from adding the company to a national security restricted list.
