Appeals Court Lets Pentagon Keep Anthropic on Supply Chain Risk List
nordicinst · x · 2026-09-26
- A federal appeals court in DC refused to overturn one of the Pentagon's supply-chain risk designations against Anthropic, ruling the Defense Department had ample support that integrating Claude posed a national-security risk.
- The judges cited Anthropic's own stance: the company admitted encoding restrictions into Claude to prevent tasks it opposes, such as autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance — a stance Defense Secretary Hegseth deemed a national security risk.
- A San Francisco judge had earlier tossed out a separate label in March; Anthropic says it may appeal to a broader panel or the Supreme Court.
