Judge Questions Pentagon Evidence Behind Anthropic Supply-Chain Risk Designation

A federal judge on July 30 said the Defense Department (DOD) has not produced sufficient evidence to justify its designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk, as both parties seek summary judgment in the AI company’s legal challenge to the designation. “I don’t see additional evidence from the government really justifying what it did. If anything, it seems like the record, in some ways, has gotten worse for the government,” Lin said at Thursday’s hearing in San Francisco.
