Anthropic seeks rehearing of case over Pentagon’s security risk branding

Anthropic asked a US appeals court on Tuesday to reconsider a ruling that upheld the Pentagon’s decision to label the AI company as a national security supply chain risk over a dispute about safety guardrails on its technology.

* A federal appeals court in September upheld the designation in a 2-1 decision, agreeing with the Pentagon that the firm’s safety restrictions could compromise military operations. The Pentagon’s blacklisting of the company has cost it billions of dollars in lost business, Anthropic has said.
