特朗普政府正请求一家联邦上诉法院推翻一名联邦法官的命令,该命令解除了政府对Anthropic PBC人工智能技术在联邦机构使用的禁令。
The Trump administration is asking an appeals court to overturn a federal judge’s order lifting the government’s ban on Anthropic PBC’s artificial intelligence technology for federal agencies.
司法部周一向第九巡回美国上诉法院提交了上诉通知,挑战旧金山联邦地区法官Rita F. Lin于8月作出的裁决。该裁决认定政府未能为其禁止联邦机构使用这家AI巨头技术的决定提供正当理由。
The Justice Department filed a notice of appeal with the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday, challenging an August ruling by US District Judge Rita F. Lin in San Francisco that the administration failed to justify its decision to bar federal agencies from using technology from the AI giant.
此次上诉是围绕五角大楼将该公司指定为对美国国家安全构成供应链风险这一决定,在东西两岸展开的法律斗争的一部分。Anthropic在华盛顿特区提起的另一起诉讼目前正在一家上诉法院审理中。
The appeal comes as part of a bicoastal legal fight over the Pentagon’s designation of the company as a supply-chain risk to US national security. A separate lawsuit filed by Anthropic in Washington, DC, is pending in an appeals court.
这场纠纷对Anthropic至关重要——该公司周一刚提交了首次公开募股(IPO)申请——也对整个AI行业至关重要。法院将决定,在AI技术发展的关键节点,是联邦政府还是私营公司掌握AI技术安全护栏的控制权。美国开发商正竞相推出最先进的AI模型,并向投资者证明该技术能够盈利。
The dispute carries high stakes for Anthropic — which filed for its IPO on Monday — and also for the entire AI industry. The courts will decide whether the federal government or private companies get to control safety guardrails for AI technology at a critical juncture in its development. US-based developers are racing to deliver the most advanced AI models and prove to investors that the technology can turn a profit.
Anthropic与联邦政府的关系在今年早些时候破裂,此前该公司与五角大楼就军方使用其AI技术的谈判告吹。
Anthropic’s relationship with the federal government soured after negotiations with the Pentagon over the use of the company’s AI technology by the military fell apart earlier this year.
这家初创公司曾寻求保证,其技术不会被用于对美国人的大规模监控或自主武器部署,但政府以国家安全为由,拒绝接受任何使用限制。
The startup had sought assurances that its technology would not be used for mass surveillance of Americans or autonomous weapons deployment, but the government resisted any restrictions on its use due to national security concerns.
谈判破裂后,国防部将Anthropic列为对美国供应链的风险,禁止政府机构使用该公司的技术。
After discussions broke down, the Department of Defense labeled Anthropic a risk to the US supply chain, blocking government agencies from using the company’s technology.
在她8月份针对政府的命令中,林法官表示,政府的行动显然是“出于想要以Anthropic为公开榜样,惩罚其‘傲慢’地批评政府,而非基于任何可阐述的理由相信Anthropic实际上会破坏其模型”。在另一案件中,华盛顿上诉法院的一个三法官小组维持了政府将Anthropic指定为供应链风险的决定。Anthropic正请求全院复议该裁决。
In her August order against the government, Lin said the administration’s actions were clearly based “on a desire to make a public example out of Anthropic for its ‘arrogance’ in criticizing the government, not based on any articulable basis to believe that Anthropic would actually sabotage its model.”In the other case, a three-judge panel of the appeals court in Washington upheld the administration’s designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk. Anthropic is asking the full court to revisit the ruling.
该案为Anthropic诉美国战争部案,案号26-cv-01996,美国加利福尼亚北区联邦地区法院(旧金山)。
The case is Anthropic v. US Department of War, 26-cv-01996, US District Court, Northern District of California (San Francisco).
