Court Rules to Keep Anthropic Labeled a Supply-Chain Risk, for Now

A federal appeals court declined for now Anthropic PBC’s request to pause a declaration by the Pentagon that the artificial intelligence company poses a risk to the US supply chain, even as plans for a broader government ban on its technology remain blocked by a California judge.

In its decision Wednesday, the three-judge panel in Washington, DC, said it would work quickly to review the case because Anthropic is likely to “suffer some irreparable harm” as the legal action plays out. The court set oral arguments in the case for May 19.
