AI firm Anthropic is challenging the Pentagon's national security risk claim in a California court, arguing the military's case stems from misunderstandings. Anthropic's policy chief refutes demands for military operation approval, while another executive clarifies their AI, once deployed in secure government systems, is beyond their control. The company alleges the designation is retaliation for its AI safety advocacy.
