Trump-appointed judges refuse to block Trump blacklisting of Anthropic AI tech
Summary
A federal appeals court denied Anthropic's request for a stay on the Trump administration's blacklisting of Anthropic's AI tech, while granting expedited review and scheduling oral arguments for May 19. The ruling emphasizes procurement and national security considerations, precedents around First Amendment claims, and indicates further litigation in California. The case illustrates how government actions can impact AI vendors and supply-chain risk designations.
