Pentagon Pushing AI Companies to Expand on Classified Networks, Sources Say

The Pentagon seeks to expand AI use on classified networks to enhance military readiness and decision-making amid concerns over rival powers, with 3 million users on GenAI.mil.

  • On Tuesday, Pentagon Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael pressed OpenAI and Anthropic to deploy their strongest AI models on both classified and unclassified networks with fewer safeguards at a White House event.
  • Pentagon officials say rival powers rapidly integrate AI into military systems, and access to advanced models is essential for decision-making and mission planning in classified work.
  • The GenAI.mil platform serves roughly 3 million civilian and military personnel and includes tailored tools from xAI and Google's Gemini, while OpenAI offers a customized ChatGPT with fewer user restrictions for unclassified use.
  • Negotiations have stalled as the Pentagon seeks expanded classified access while major AI firms impose limits and company employees opposing military use raise recruitment concerns, with Anthropic refusing autonomous weapons targeting.
  • AI researchers caution that mistakes in classified AI systems could be deadly, while the United Nations urges an international scientific panel to oversee AI amid diverging national policies.
