US appeals court upholds Pentagon’s blacklisting of Anthropic

A federal appeals court upheld the Pentagon's decision to blacklist Anthropic from military contracts, ruling in a 2-1 decision that the government acted lawfully by labeling the AI company a supply chain risk. This ruling represents a victory for President Trump and the Pentagon. While Pentagon CTO Emil Michael celebrated the outcome, Anthropic hinted at a potential appeal, although it remains uncertain if they will be permitted to pursue further legal action against the ban.
