Microsoft Supports Anthropic in Pentagon Fight -- Market Talk

1028 ET - In a filing in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, Microsoft is rallying behind Anthropic, urging the court to issue a temporary restraining order that blocks the Pentagon's designation of the artificial-intelligence company as a supply-chain risk "for all existing contracts." Such a move would "enable a more orderly transition and avoid disrupting the American military's ongoing use of advanced AI," Microsoft says in the filing. Without an order, Microsoft warns that it and other technology companies will need to "act immediately to alter existing product and contract configurations" used by the Department of War. "This could potentially hamper U.S. warfighters at a critical point in time," the filing reads. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
