Trump administration acted illegally in fight against Anthropic, judge rules
A ruling in the first of two lawsuits filed against the government by Anthropic found the Trump administration acted outside the law.
A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration's decision to label Anthropic's AI models as a "supply chain risk" earlier this year was illegal. Judge Rita Lin argued in a 59-page ruling that the government unlawfully retaliated against Anthropic, despite the company engaging in constitutionally protected expressive activities.
The judge noted that the designation was likely an attempt to make a public example of the company. Anthropic has welcomed the ruling, stating that they remain focused on working productively with the government to harness AI for national security to benefit all Americans.
