CoinMarketCap news: On April 9, Wednesday, a federal appellate court in Washington, D.C. denied a request by Anthropic to temporarily block the Department of Defense from listing the company on a blacklist. The company is currently suing over the sanctions. Previously, at the end of last month, a federal judge in San Francisco issued a preliminary injunction in another related case, prohibiting the Trump administration from enforcing its ban on the use of the company’s Claude artificial intelligence model. In its ruling, the appellate court said: “We believe that the equitable balance in this case favors the government. On the one hand, the risk of economic harm to a private company is relatively small; on the other hand, during a military conflict, how and through whom the Department of Defense can obtain critical artificial intelligence technology requires oversight by the judiciary. Therefore, we deny Anthropic’s motion to stay execution, pending review of the merits of the case.” (CNBC)
