A federal appeals court has declined to block the Pentagon's decision to blacklist Anthropic, a company identified as a national security supply chain risk, according to ABCNews.com. Anthropic is challenging this designation, arguing it poses a risk to its business operations. The court's ruling allows the Pentagon's blacklisting to remain in effect while the legal challenge continues.

Impact Technology and defence sectors face increased scrutiny as Anthropic remains blacklisted by the Pentagon.
