Anthropic Vows Legal Fight Against Pentagon Sanction in AI Feud

Anthropic PBC vowed to legally contest a Pentagon decision to declare the company a threat to the US supply chain under an authority normally reserved for foreign adversaries, escalating a showdown with the Trump administration over artificial intelligence safeguards.

“We do not believe this action is legally sound, and we see no choice but to challenge it in court,” Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei said in a blog post Thursday, hours after Bloomberg News reported on the Pentagon finding.
