Pentagon reaches deal with leading AI companies for classified work
The Pentagon has reached deals with seven major AI companies, including OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft, to deploy their AI systems in the Defense Department's classified networks. The AI systems will be used to 'streamline data synthesis, elevate situational understanding, and augment warfighter decision-making in complex operational environments.'
The Pentagon has signed agreements with seven major AI firms to deploy their AI systems in the Defense Department's classified networks. The companies involved are OpenAI, Google, Nvidia, Reflection AI, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and SpaceX. The AI systems will be integrated into the DoD's Impact Level 6 and Impact Level 7 networks. The deals were announced by the Pentagon on Friday. The AI technology will be used for 'lawful operational use.' Anthropic, a firm that was blacklisted by the Pentagon earlier this year, was not included in the agreements. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had previously criticized Anthropic's CEO, calling him an 'ideological lunatic.'
