PoliticsJudge bars Pentagon from labeling Anthropic a security riskMarch 28, 2026 | 12:51 AM GMTA federal judge in San Francisco blocked a Pentagon order labeling the artificial intelligence company Anthropic a national security risk, saying officials had likely violated the law and retaliated against the firm for speaking publicly about how it wanted its technology to be used. “Nothing in the governing statute supports the Orwellian notion that an American company may be branded a potential adversary and saboteur of the U.S. for expressing disagreement with the government,” District Court Judge Rita F. Lin wrote.
