Anthropic and the administration of United States President Donald Trump are headed to court over the US Defense Department’s decision last month to cut ties with the artificial intelligence giant after it refused to allow unrestricted military use of its Claude AI model.

The legal showdown begins Tuesday in San Francisco, where Anthropic will petition the court to halt a Pentagon-led ban enacted after the company refused to strip safety guardrails that prevent its artificial intelligence (AI) from being used for fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance.
