A federal judge in San Francisco blocked the Pentagon's unprecedented designation of AI company Anthropic as a "supply chain risk"—a label previously reserved for foreign adversaries—ruling that the action constituted illegal First Amendment retaliation after Anthropic refused to remove safety guardrails from its Claude AI model for military use. The ruling halts both the designation and President Trump's order for all federal agencies to sever ties with the company, raising questions about executive authority over the domestic technology sector and the future of AI safety standards in defense procurement.
