WASHINGTON D.C- The Pentagon has expanded its use of artificial intelligence by signing agreements with Google to deploy its A.I. models on classified networks. This forms part of a $200 million contract signed last year, allowing the military to use the technology for “any lawful governmental purpose.” The move strengthens the Pentagon’s push to integrate advanced A.I. into sensitive and secure operations.
The deal aligns with similar agreements recently reached with OpenAI and xAI, signaling a broader strategy to partner with multiple A.I. providers. However, tensions have emerged with Anthropic, as disagreements continue over how A.I. should be responsibly used in military and wartime contexts.
