Anthropic Sues Pentagon Over National Security Label, Microsoft Backs Them

The AI company Anthropic is suing the Pentagon to block its designation as a national security risk. The Pentagon labeled Anthropic a supply-chain risk, which could blacklist the company from government contracts, reportedly over concerns about its AI being used for military purposes.

Microsoft has filed an amicus brief in support of Anthropic's lawsuit. This legal backing from Microsoft adds significant weight to Anthropic's challenge against the Department of Defense's decision.
