An artificial intelligence company plans to take the Pentagon to court over a security designation that could impact its federal business relationships.
On Friday, Anthropic announced its intention to legally contest the Defense Department’s classification of the AI firm as a supply-chain security risk. The company’s decision to pursue litigation came just hours after President Donald Trump issued a directive ordering all federal agencies to halt their work with Anthropic.
The dual actions represent a significant escalation in tensions between the AI company and the federal government, with potential implications for how artificial intelligence firms interact with government agencies moving forward.
