Judge calls Pentagon's moves against AI firm Anthropic "troubling"


A judge sharply questioned a lawyer for the federal government on Tuesday over the Pentagon's efforts to cut Anthropic out of its classified systems — the latest development in a dispute between the company and the Trump administration over AI guardrails. "If the worry is about the integrity of the operational chain of command, DOW could just stop using Claude," Lin said, using the acronym for the Department of War, the administration's term for the Defense Department. Hamilton said Tuesday the government decided to label Anthropic a supply chain risk because the company's negotiating position and discussions with military officials made the Pentagon unable to trust Anthropic, and sparked concerns about a "risk of future sabotage."
