美法官认定政府对Anthropic的封杀缺乏事实依据且涉嫌违宪
英文摘要
On July 30, 2026, US District Judge Rita F. Lin stated during a hearing that the government failed to provide sufficient evidence to justify its ban on Anthropic, which branded the AI firm a national security supply-chain risk. The dispute began after a $200 million Pentagon contract for Claude's deployment on classified networks, with Anthropic seeking restrictions against mass surveillance and lethal autonomous targeting. Judge Lin expressed deep concern that the ban appeared to be retaliation for Anthropic's public criticism of the Pentagon, a rationale she found "very troubling" and at odds with the First Amendment. She also saw no evidence supporting the Department of Defense's claim that Anthropic could remotely disable or modify delivered AI models. The judge is considering whether to convert the temporary injunction blocking the ban into a permanent one.
中文摘要
2026年7月30日，美国联邦地区法官Rita F. Lin在听证会上指出，政府未能提供充分证据来证明将Anthropic列为“供应链风险”并禁止联邦机构使用其技术的合理性。该争端源于五角大楼一份价值2亿美元的合同——Claude模型被部署于机密网络后，Anthropic要求在续约中加入限制大规模监控和致命自主决策的条款。林法官认为政府的封杀如同对Anthropic公开批评国防部的报复，这与第一修正案相悖且“非常令人不安”。她还指出，国防部声称Anthropic可远程禁用或篡改已交付模型的说法缺乏证据支撑。法官正评估是否将临时禁制令转为永久性禁令。
