Microsoft supports Anthropic in a legal action

Microsoft intervened in support of the company Anthropic, challenging in court the Trump administration's decision to designate it as a risk to the supply chain, which would impede its access to military work. The Pentagon's action came after a public conflict related to Anthropic's refusal to allow uncontrolled use of its artificial intelligence model, Claude, for military purposes. Microsoft argued that using this label to resolve a contractual dispute could have severe economic effects, contrary to the public interest. Additionally, Microsoft supported Anthropic's ethical positions, stating that American artificial intelligence should not be used for mass surveillance or to trigger wars without human control. The Pentagon declined to comment, citing the ongoing litigation.
