Judge stays Pentagon’s labelling of Anthropic as ‘supply chain risk’

A federal judge on Thursday temporarily stopped the Department of Defense from labelling Anthropic as a security risk, in a reprieve for the artificial intelligence startup and its work with the federal government.

In the ruling, Judge Rita F. Lin of U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California said Anthropic would not be restricted from continuing with its federal contracts for now. The ruling is not a final decision, as the case continues.
