A US federal judge has blocked the Pentagon's order against AI company Anthropic. The Pentagon had branded Anthropic a national security risk after the company refused to allow its technology to be used for all military purposes. Anthropic had warned that its technology could be misused for domestic mass surveillance or autonomous weapons systems. The court found that the Pentagon's actions were likely unlawful and retaliatory. The ruling blocks the security risk designation and the termination of government contracts with Anthropic. This decision has implications for the future of AI governance and corporate freedom of speech.
