A US appeals court upheld the Pentagon's designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk, barring the military and its contractors from using Anthropic's Claude AI models due to national security concerns under a 2018 supply chain security law.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML, and 16 sources have reported it between 25 Sep 2026 and 28 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new regulatory barrier to selling AI models to the US military after a court upheld Anthropic's supply chain risk label. This sets a precedent that government contract terms limiting AI use can dictate market access.
