23:28Now PlayingIn this episode, Legal AF’s Ray Brescia dives into a high-stakes, constitutional showdown between Big Tech and the U.S. military. Imagine building one of the world's most advanced artificial intelligence systems, but drawing a hard line: the government cannot use it for lethal autonomous warfare or the mass surveillance of Americans. That is exactly what AI developer Anthropic did with its flagship model, Claude. In this episode, Brescia breaks down the recent ruling by Judge Rita F. Lin of the Northern District of California who slammed the brakes on the government's attacks, granting a preliminary injunction to protect Anthropic. The court ruled that punishing an American company for expressing its views isn't national security—it is classic, illegal First Amendment retaliation.
