中文导读
Reuters 报道：美国加州北区联邦地区法院法官 Rita Lin 在 59 页裁定中叫停国防部把 Anthropic 列为国家安全供应链风险。起因是 Anthropic 拒绝让军方在自主武器和国内监控场景使用 Claude，Hegseth 援引一项原本针对外国渗透的采购法规把 Anthropic 列入黑名单，这也是美国公司首次被公开按该法规认定；Anthropic 以第一修正案（报复言论）与第五修正案（正当程序）起诉。法官认定该决定「非法且无据」，并写道「空洞地援引国家安全不是惩罚和报复政府批评者的空白支票」。Anthropic 在华盛顿还有第二起诉讼，针对可能使其被排除在民用政府合同之外的另一份认定。这条案将影响军方可否凭国家安全标签压制拒绝军用化合作的 AI 厂商。

- Anthropic alleges Pentagon chief overstepped his authority; Pentagon says national security risk designation is lawful
- Judge Lin found designation was 'illegal and baseless'
August 27 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Thursday blocked the Pentagon's blacklisting of Anthropic, the latest turn in the Claude maker's high-stakes fight with the military over AI safety on the battlefield.
Anthropic's lawsuit in California federal court alleges that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth overstepped his authority when he designated Anthropic a national security supply-chain risk, a label the government can apply to companies that expose military systems to potential infiltration or sabotage by adversaries.
Hegseth's unprecedented move, which blocked Anthropic from certain military contracts, followed Anthropic's refusal to allow the military to use its Claude AI models for U.S. surveillance or autonomous weapons. Anthropic executives have said it could cost the company billions of dollars in lost business and reputational harm.
U.S. District Judge Rita Lin, an appointee of former Democratic President Joe Biden, made the ruling in a 59-page order where she found that the Pentagon's decision was "illegal and baseless."
"The empty invocation of national security is not a blank check to punish and retaliate against government critics," she wrote.
Anthropic argues that AI models are not reliable enough to be safely used in autonomous weapons and that it opposes domestic surveillance as a violation of rights, but the Pentagon says private companies should not be able to constrain military action.
The designation made by the Pentagon was the first time a U.S. company has been publicly designated a supply-chain risk under an obscure government-procurement statute aimed at protecting military systems from foreign sabotage.
In its March 9 lawsuit, Anthropic alleged the government violated its right to free speech under the First Amendment of the Constitution by retaliating against its views on AI safety. The company said it was not given a chance to dispute the designation, in violation of its Fifth Amendment right to due process.
Anthropic has a second lawsuit pending in Washington, D.C., over a separate Pentagon supply-chain risk designation that could lead to its exclusion from civilian government contracts.
