Employees across OpenAI and Google support Anthropic’s lawsuit against the Pentagon
Source: The Verge
Overview
On Monday, Anthropic filed a lawsuit against the Department of Defense over being designated as a supply chain risk. Hours later, nearly 40 employees from OpenAI and Google — including Jeff Dean, Google’s chief scientist and Gemini lead — filed an amicus brief in support of Anthropic’s lawsuit, detailing their concerns about the Trump administration’s decision and the technology’s risks and implications.
The news follows a dramatic few weeks for Anthropic, during which the Trump administration labeled the company a supply chain risk — a designation typically reserved for foreign companies that the government deems a potential risk to national security.
