Anthropic has launched lawsuits against the Trump administration after the Pentagon labeled its Claude AI a “supply chain risk,” effectively banning federal agencies from using the system. The designation, typically reserved for foreign adversaries, followed failed negotiations over military access to Claude for surveillance and autonomous weapons. Anthropic argues the move is unlawful, retaliatory, and violates the First Amendment by punishing its AI safety stance. The company warns the ban could cost hundreds of millions in contracts and reshape industry dynamics. The outcome may set precedent for AI governance, corporate independence, and government authority in national security projects.
