Pentagon signs agreement with seven AI companies for classified systems

The U.S. Department of Defense has formed a new partnership with seven AI companies, including SpaceX, OpenAI, and Google, to enhance its classified networks with advanced technologies. This initiative aims to transform the military into an AI-first fighting force amid scrutiny over AI’s role in military operations, particularly in the context of the ongoing U.S.-Israel conflict in Iran. Notably absent from the agreement is Anthropic, which is currently in a legal dispute with the Pentagon over access to its AI systems.
