The US Department of Defense (DoD) has announced an agreement with seven major technology companies to integrate their artificial intelligence tools into its classified networks. The companies involved are Elon Musk's SpaceX, ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon Web Services, and Reflection. The Pentagon has existing AI contracts with several companies, including Palantir and OpenAI. The AI tools will be used for 'lawful operational use,' and the new agreements aim to transform the military into an 'AI-first fighting force.' The Pentagon's GenAI.mil platform has been used by 1.3 million DoD personnel. The deal comes after the Trump administration previously shunned Anthropic, a competitor to some of the involved companies, over safety concerns.
