The Pentagon has decided to use Google's Gemini artificial intelligence system for more than 3 million military and civilian employees. “Today we launch GenAI.mil. This platform puts the world's most powerful AI models directly in the hands of every American soldier. We will continue to aggressively deploy the world's best technologies to make our armed forces more lethal than ever. And it's all made in America“, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on social media.
Google's contract with the US Department of Defense is worth $ 200 million.. Similar agreements for AI implementation have also been signed with OpenAI, xAI and Anthropic. The program aims to integrate advanced AI models into the daily work of the armed forces and civilian Pentagon personnel.
Authorities expect the platform to enable rapid analysis of video and images, giving the US an advantage on the so-called “digital battlefield”.
