Pentagon makes deal to expand use of Google AI: reports
The Pentagon has arranged a deal to increase its use of Google's artificial intelligence in classified operations, US media reported. Over 600 Google employees have demanded the company reject the proposed deal, citing concerns about potential harms and erosion of civil liberties.
The Pentagon is expanding its use of Google's artificial intelligence in classified operations, according to US media reports. The deal comes as the US military looks to move away from Anthropic's AI due to the company's objections to its technology being used for mass domestic surveillance or autonomous killing machines. In February, Trump instructed the US government to cease using Anthropic's technology after it was designated a national security supply chain risk. More than 600 Google employees have demanded the company reject the proposed deal, citing concerns about potential harms and erosion of civil liberties. The Pentagon's agreements with tech providers reportedly include using AI tools only in ways allowed by law. Pentagon chief digital officer Cameron Stanley said overreliance on one vendor is never a good thing.
