Google expands Gemini DoD partnership with Gem-like agents for unclassified projects
Google's Gemini AI agents support over 3 million Department of Defense employees with eight pre-built tools and a no-code custom agent builder for unclassified tasks.
- On Tuesday, Google announced it is rolling out Gemini AI agents to the Department of Defense's more than three million civilian and military employees, with a new Agent Designer feature for custom agents.
- Recently, after the Anthropic standoff, the Department of Defense broadened partnerships and struck deals with OpenAI and xAI, while designating Anthropic a "supply chain risk" amid a lawsuit.
- Adoption outpaced training as 1.2 million Defense Department employees ran 40 million unique prompts and uploaded more than 4 million documents, though only 26,000 people trained since December; eight pre-built agents will automate tasks.
- The Department of Defense and Google are in talks about classified and top-secret systems while starting with unclassified systems because most users operate there, Emil Michael said 'not out of the picture'.
- Google quietly altered its 'AI Principles' in early February and faces pressure after thousands of Google employees protested Project Maven and an open letter from roughly 900 Google and 100 OpenAI employees.
