Federal court overturns Pentagon’s blacklisting of Anthropic

A federal court has ruled that the Pentagon’s decision to blacklist Anthropic as a supply-chain risk was unconstitutional, The Verge reports.

Anthropic filed its lawsuit in a California federal court in March 2026 after the Trump administration designated the company a supply-chain threat. The move followed Anthropic’s refusal to change the terms of its military contracts. The company insisted on two restrictions — its AI models could not be used for mass surveillance of Americans or for autonomous lethal weapons capable of selecting and attacking targets without human oversight.

US District Judge Rita F. Lin ruled that the Defense Department’s actions violated the First Amendment. The ruling found that broad national security concerns did not give the government the right to punish critics of its policies and that Anthropic’s designation as a supply-chain risk was arbitrary.

After Anthropic refused to change its terms, the Pentagon signed agreements with seven other AI companies, including Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and SpaceX. Anthropic spokesperson Danielle Ghiglieri welcomed the ruling and said the company plans to continue working constructively with the US government on national security.
