\u201cI don\u2019t see additional evidence from the government really justifying what it did,\u201d U.S. District Judge Rita F. Lin said at the start of a hearing in the lawsuit the company brought against the administration. \u201cIf anything, it seems like the record, in some ways, has gotten worse for the government.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthropic sued after the Pentagon designated it a national security supply chain risk and the administration moved to cut it off from federal work. The company says officials retaliated after it resisted efforts to remove restrictions on using its Claude models for domestic surveillance of Americans and lethal autonomous warfare.<\/p>

The lawsuit seeks to overturn the designation and prevent the administration from excluding the company from federal contracting.Lin made the comments during a 2.5-hour hearing Thursday in California, where she was considering motions from each side to decide the lawsuit in their favor at this early stage in the case.<\/p>\n
