US govt punishing, trying to cripple Anthropic for raising AI safety concerns: Judge

A US judge said the Pentagon seems to be punishing Anthropic for going public with its AI safety concerns. The government's designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk "looks like an attempt to cripple" the startup, the judge said. Anthropic sued Pentagon after being blacklisted for refusing to allow the use of its technology for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons.
