    Court rules Trump can blacklist Anthropic over refusal to enable Claude features

    A 2-1 ruling by the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the Trump administration’s authority to blacklist Anthropic technology after the company withheld certain Claude AI features, even without malicious intent. The court said Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth must balance the risks of constrained models failing during military operations against unconstrained models generating unsuitable targets for lethal force.
