Microsoft has formally intervened in a legal battle between Anthropic and the Pentagon, warning that a 'national security supply-chain risk' designation against the AI firm could cripple U.S. military capabilities. The dispute centers on Anthropic's refusal to allow its Claude AI models to be used for autonomous lethal warfare, leading to an unprecedented blacklisting typically reserved for foreign adversaries.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has announced a legal challenge against the Pentagon's unprecedented decision to label the AI firm a national security supply chain risk. While the designation bars Anthropic's Claude models from direct Department of Defense contracts, the company and its cloud partners maintain that the ruling does not affect broader commercial availability.
