DOJ Defends Anthropic Blacklisting in Court as 'Justified and Lawful'; Former Judges File Amicus for Anthropic
The Trump administration filed a March 17 court response defending the Pentagon's supply chain risk designation of Anthropic as justified, opposing Anthropic's lawsuit challenging the blacklisting after the company refused to remove guardrails against autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance use. Simultaneously, a group of former federal judges filed an amicus brief supporting Anthropic, raising constitutional concerns about the designation. This is the most significant legal development yet in the AI governance battle between Anthropic and the DoD.
