"According to CNBC," Microsoft asked a court to temporarily block a Pentagon decision that would prevent defense contractors from working with artificial intelligence company Anthropic.

The company argues the restriction could interfere with partnerships between technology developers and government contractors that rely on advanced AI systems.

Defense officials had previously raised concerns about compliance and security rules related to Anthropic’s involvement in certain government programs.

The case highlights the growing role of artificial intelligence in national security and the increasing tension between government regulations and technology innovation.
