New York Times: “The Pentagon announced on Friday that it had reached deals with some of the technology industry’s biggest companies in an effort to expand the military’s artificial intelligence capabilities and increase the number of firms authorized to be on classified networks.”“The companies, according to the Defense Department, agreed to allow the Pentagon to employ their technology for ‘any lawful use,’ a standard resisted by Anthropic, which was initially the only artificial intelligence model available on classified markets.”The Guardian: Pentagon plans to make US military ‘AI-first fighting force’ by pairing with companies.
