AWS, Microsoft, NVIDIA Are Giving Pentagon Access to Their AI Tech, While Anthropic Remains Out
The Pentagon has added Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and NVIDIA as official partners for artificial intelligence technology, allowing them to share AI tools for 'lawful operational use' on classified military networks. Anthropic remains the only major US-based AI company not partnering with the Pentagon due to disagreements over AI safety policies.
The Pentagon has expanded its list of artificial intelligence technology partners with Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and NVIDIA becoming official partners. These companies will share their top AI technologies and tools with the Pentagon for use on classified military networks. The new contracts aim to help the US military become an 'AI-first fighting force.' Other Big Tech organizations, including OpenAI, xAI, and Google, have already partnered with the Defense Department. Anthropic, however, remains out of the deal due to disagreements with the Pentagon over AI safety policies and privacy features. In February, Anthropic rejected a Pentagon contract, leading to a ban on its use in the military and US government agencies by the Trump administration.
