Anthropic Sues Trump Administration
(MENAFN) The American AI firm Anthropic initiated legal action on Monday against the Trump administration, contesting the Pentagon’s move to classify the company and its offerings as a “supply chain risk” after discussions over safety limitations on its AI technology fell apart.
Filed in a federal court in California, the lawsuit contends that the designation, along with President Donald Trump’s directive instructing federal agencies to halt the use of Anthropic’s systems, is both “unprecedented and unlawful.”
The company described the government’s efforts as an infringement on its First and Fifth Amendment rights.
In addition to the California filing, a related case has been lodged in the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.
Anthropic, the developer of the Claude AI model series, urged the courts to reverse the decision, emphasizing that the outcome could have wide-ranging consequences for both the company and the larger AI sector.
The court submission asserts that the administration’s actions breach constitutional safeguards and exceed legal authority.
“The Constitution does not allow the government to wield its enormous power to punish a company for its protected speech,” the lawsuit argued, noting that no federal law permits such a measure.
Typically, the “supply chain risk” designation is reserved for organizations associated with foreign adversaries and prevents defense contractors from incorporating a company’s products into government projects.
