AI company Anthropic sues US government over Pentagon row
Washington, United States, March 9 (AFP) Mar 09, 2026
Anthropic filed suit Monday against the Trump administration, alleging it retaliated over the AI company's refusal to let its Claude AI model be used for autonomous lethal warfare and mass surveillance of Americans.

In the 48-page complaint, filed in federal court in San Francisco, Anthropic seeks to have its designation as a national security supply-chain risk declared unlawful and blocked.

Anthropic is the first US company ever to have been publicly punished with such a designation, a label typically reserved for organizations from foreign adversary countries, like Chinese tech company Huawei.
