Anthropic says it will challenge Pentagon’s supply chain risk designation in court

Anthropic said it will challenge in court the Pentagon’s designation of the company as a supply-chain risk. The challenge follows the decision announced Friday, which also prompted President Trump to direct federal agencies to cease work with Anthropic.

The dispute centers on security and risk concerns regarding the AI firm’s practices and potential exposure to supply-chain vulnerabilities. Anthropic intends to pursue legal action to overturn or review the designation.

Further details on the court filing and potential implications for ongoing government-related AI projects were not disclosed in the initial report.
