Automated excerpt
Dario Amodei said Thursday that Anthropic plans to challenge the Department of Defense’s decision to label the AI firm a supply chain risk in court, a designation he has called “legally unsound. ” The statement comes a few hours after the DOD officially designated Anthropic a supply chain risk following a weeks-long dispute over how much control the military should have over AI systems.
