Anthropic Challenges Pentagon Over Contract Blacklist
Anthropic, led by CEO Dario Amodei, sued the Department of War after Secretary Pete Hegseth on Feb. 27 designated the company a national-security supply chain risk and severed its Pentagon contracts. The dispute began after Feb. 26 talks where Anthropic warned against contracts enabling mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons; the legal challenge seeks to reverse the blacklisting and restore federal business, while drawing scrutiny of employees' partisan ties.
