US Blacklists Anthropic As Security Risk

The US government on April 5, 2026 blacklisted Anthropic, designating the AI startup a national-security supply-chain risk after it declined to let the military use its Claude chatbot for surveillance or autonomous weapons. A US judge temporarily blocked the blacklisting and Anthropic has a second lawsuit pending; Britain is courting the company with expansion and dual-listing proposals ahead of CEO Dario Amodei's late-May visit.
