US judge rules Pentagon blacklisting of Anthropic unlawful
U.S. District Judge Rita F. Lin issued a ruling on Thursday, stating that the Pentagon's decision to blacklist AI startup Anthropic was unlawful. The judge found that the actions taken against Anthropic constituted unlawful retaliation in violation of the First Amendment. Additionally, Anthropic was denied the pre-deprivation process required under the Fifth Amendment.
The record also showed that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's decision to label Anthropic as a supply chain risk violated the governing statutory scheme and was deemed arbitrary and capricious.
