SAN FRANCISCO (CN) — Attorneys for the U.S. government told a federal judge Tuesday that a tweet from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth designating artificial intelligence developer Anthropic a supply chain risk to national security and prohibiting military contractors from doing business with it “effective immediately,” was not a final agency action.
“Standing here, I’m not aware of any authorities the Department of War has to bar contractors from using Anthropic for non-DoW work,” Eric Hamilton, an attorney for the federal government, said, referring to the Defense Department. “This post itself does not impose obligations on contractors. That flows through supply-chain risk designations.”
