The tech firm was blacklisted for resisting the US War Department’s demand to lift limits on surveillance and autonomous weapons

Artificial intelligence developer Anthropic has filed a lawsuit against the Pentagon and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, challenging the Trump administration’s decision to designate the company a national security risk and blacklist its technology across the federal government.

The complaint, filed Monday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, argues that the administration exceeded its legal authority and retaliated against the company for refusing to remove safeguards governing how its artificial intelligence systems can be used by the military.

Anthropic is asking the court to declare the government’s actions unlawful and block the measures, which it says threaten to cause “irreparable” harm to one of the world’s “fastest-growing” and most “responsible” AI companies.
