Pentagon finalizes AI agreements with seven tech companies for classified military systems.
The U.S. Department of Defense announced Friday it has reached agreements with seven technology companies — Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Nvidia, OpenAI, SpaceX, and Reflection AI — to deploy their AI capabilities on classified military networks. The deals are aimed at enhancing warfighter decision-making and accelerating the military's transition to an AI-first posture. The announcements come amid an ongoing dispute between the Pentagon and Anthropic, which sought explicit safety guardrails around autonomous weapons use before signing.
