Anthropic seeks rehearing of Pentagon security risk designation

Anthropic Pentagon national security supply chain risk AI safety federal appeals court

Anthropic has petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to rehear a case regarding the Pentagon’s designation of the company as a national security supply-chain risk. The company is seeking an en banc review after a three-judge panel issued a 2-1 ruling in September upholding the designation.

The dispute stems from Anthropic’s refusal to allow its Claude AI models to be used for mass domestic surveillance or lethal autonomous weapons. The Pentagon maintains that these safety restrictions could compromise military operations and pose a security risk. Anthropic argues the designation is retaliatory, targeting the company for its public stance on AI safety, and claims the court misinterpreted federal law by applying it to a government contractor.

Anthropic asserts that the blacklisting has resulted in billions of dollars in lost business. While a federal judge in California previously struck down a parallel designation under a different law in August, the D.C. Circuit's recent ruling favored the Department of Defense. The outcome of this rehearing could set a significant legal precedent regarding the government's authority to label technology providers as security risks based on their safety protocols.
