The U.S. Department of Defense has signed contracts with Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Reflection AI. These agreements will allow for the use of artificial intelligence technologies on classified networks for legitimate operational purposes. This was reported by Techcrunch.com xabar.
Pentagon officials stated that this step will accelerate the transformation of the U.S. military into an AI-powered force. It will also help maintain an advantage in decision-making.
The new contracts were signed following a disagreement with the company Anthropic. The Pentagon wanted unrestricted access to Anthropic's tools, but the company had imposed conditions against mass surveillance and autonomous weapons.
The companies' artificial intelligence models will be deployed in IL6 and IL7 environments, which require high levels of security. These systems are considered critical for national security and are protected through strict access controls.
To date, more than 1.3 million defense personnel have used the GenAI.mil platform. It is primarily intended for non-classified tasks such as research, document preparation, and data analysis.
