Conflicting Rulings Leave Anthropic in ‘Supply-Chain Risk’ Limbo

# Conflicting Court Rulings Create Uncertainty for Anthropic's Military Contracts Two different courts have reached opposite conclusions about whether the U.S. military can use Anthropic's Claude AI tool, leaving the company and the Defense Department unsure about how to move forward. The disagreement between a higher appeals court and a lower court from March means the legal status of these contracts remains unclear until the courts resolve the conflict. This uncertainty could delay military projects that depend on Claude and signal broader questions about how AI companies will work with government agencies.
