Washington— 周一， Anthropic 起诉国防部及其他联邦机构，指控特朗普政府将其列为供应链风险并禁止政府部门使用其技术，这是围绕该公司强大人工智能模型的激烈争议中的最新篇章。
在向美国北加州联邦地区法院提交的一份48页的诉讼中，Anthropic称五角大楼和特朗普总统对该公司的惩罚行为”前所未有的且非法”。
“宪法不允许政府滥用其巨大权力来惩罚因行使受保护言论而遭受处罚的公司。没有任何联邦法规授权此处所采取的行动。Anthropic将司法机构作为最后手段，以维护自身权利并制止行政部门非法报复的行为，”诉讼文件中写道。
该公司同时提起了另一项范围较窄的诉讼，要求美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院审查五角大楼关于其构成供应链风险的裁定。联邦法律赋予该法院审查该裁定的管辖权。
这场争议源于Anthropic试图对军方使用Claude（唯一获授权用于机密网络的人工智能模型）施加限制。该公司要求五角大楼保证Claude不会被用于大规模监控美国公民或驱动致命性自主武器。五角大楼则坚持Claude应能用于”所有合法用途”。
双方在2月27日的最后期限前未能解决冲突。特朗普总统宣布他正命令所有联邦机构”立即停止使用Anthropic的技术”。国防部长Pete Hegseth表示，Anthropic将被列为供应链风险并切断国防合同，在六个月内逐步淘汰其技术。上周，CBS新闻报道称，在美以与伊朗的战争期间，五角大楼仍在继续使用Claude。
Hegseth上周正式发布了供应链风险裁定。Anthropic的诉讼要求法院阻止Hegseth的命令，并宣布该命令”任意、反复无常、滥用自由裁量权且违反法律”。该公司还要求法院认定总统无权下令其他政府部门与Anthropic断绝联系。
“Anthropic与联邦政府的合同已被取消。与私营部门的当前和未来合同也存疑，这在短期内危及数亿美元的资金，”诉讼文件中称，”除了这些直接经济损害外，Anthropic的声誉和核心第一修正案自由正受到攻击。若没有司法救济，这些损害将在未来几周和几个月内进一步加剧。”
诉讼指控政府”试图摧毁世界增长最快的私营公司之一所创造的经济价值，而该公司在负责任地开发对我国至关重要的新兴技术方面处于领先地位”。
“被质疑的行动对Anthropic造成了立即且不可弥补的损害；对那些言论将受到压制的人造成了损害；对那些能继续从该公司创造的经济价值中获益的人造成了损害；以及对应就人工智能在战争和监控中的意义进行广泛对话和辩论的全球公众造成了损害，”诉讼继续称，”对被质疑的行动没有任何正当理由。法院应宣布其非法，并禁止被告采取任何执行这些行动的步骤。”
五角大楼发言人拒绝就正在进行的诉讼置评。
白宫女发言人Liz Huston在一份声明中表示，总统”绝不会允许激进的左翼、觉醒公司通过规定世界上最强大军队的运作方式来危害国家安全”。
“在特朗普政府领导下，我们的军队将遵守美国宪法——而不是任何觉醒的人工智能公司的服务条款，”她说。

Anthropic sues Pentagon, Trump administration over “supply chain risk” designation

Washington— Anthropic sued the Defense Department and other federal agencies on Monday over the Trump administration’s move to designate it a supply chain risk and eliminate its use across the government, the latest chapter in a bitter dispute over the firm’s powerful artificial intelligence model.
In a 48-page lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Anthropic said efforts by the Pentagon and President Trump to punish the company were “unprecedented and unlawful.”
“The Constitution does not allow the government to wield its enormous power to punish a company for its protected speech. No federal statute authorizes the actions taken here. Anthropic turns to the judiciary as a last resort to vindicate its rights and halt the Executive’s unlawful campaign of retaliation,” the filing said.
The company filed a separate, narrower suit asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to review the Pentagon’s determination that it poses a risk to the supply chain. Federal law gives that court jurisdiction to review the finding.
The dispute stems from guardrails that Anthropic sought to impose on the military’s use of Claude, the only AI model authorized for use on classified networks. The company sought assurances from the Pentagon that Claude would not be used for mass surveillance of U.S. citizens or to power lethal autonomous weapons. The Pentagon insisted that Claude be available for “all lawful use.”
The two sides failed to resolve the conflict before a deadline of Feb. 27. Mr. Trump announced that he was ordering all federal agencies “to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Anthropic would be designated a supply chain risk and cut off from defense contracts, phasing out the technology over the course of six months. The Pentagon has continued to use Claude during the U.S. and Israeli war with Iran, CBS News reported last week.
Hegseth formally issued the supply chain risk designation last week. Anthropic’s lawsuit asks the court to block Hegseth’s order and declare it as “arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and contrary to law.” The company also asked the court to find that the president did not have the authority to order the rest of the government to cut ties with Anthropic.
“Anthropic’s contracts with the federal government are already being canceled. Current and future contracts with private parties are also in doubt, jeopardizing hundreds of millions of dollars in the near-term,” the company’s lawsuit said. “On top of those immediate economic harms, Anthropic’s reputation and core First Amendment freedoms are under attack. Absent judicial relief, those harms will only compound in the weeks and months ahead.”
The lawsuit accused the administration of “seeking to destroy the economic value created by one of the world’s fastest-growing private companies, which is a leader in responsibly developing an emergent technology of vital significance to our Nation.”
“The Challenged Actions inflict immediate and irreparable harm on Anthropic; on others whose speech will be chilled; on those benefiting from the economic value the company can continue to create; and on a global public that deserves robust dialogue and debate on what AI means for warfare and surveillance,” the suit continued. “There is no valid justification for the Challenged Actions. The Court should declare them unlawful and enjoin Defendants from taking any steps to implement them.”
A Pentagon spokesperson declined to comment on pending litigation.
In a statement, White House spokeswoman Liz Huston said the president “will never allow a radical left, woke company to jeopardize our national security by dictating how the greatest and most powerful military in the world operates.”
“Under the Trump Administration, our military will obey the United States Constitution — not any woke AI company’s terms of service,” she said.
