Trump administration says Anthropic refusal was 'not protected speech' in US court

The Trump administration is supporting a legal position that characterizes Anthropic's refusal to comply with certain demands as unprotected speech, while backing the designation of the AI company as a national supply chain risk. This represents a significant escalation in government pressure on AI companies and raises concerns about corporate autonomy, free speech protections for AI companies, and the potential weaponization of national security designations to control AI development.
