"Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (who has dubbed himself Secretary of War, though the name has not been legally changed by Congress) promised that the platform "puts the worlds [sic] most powerful frontier AI models directly into the hands of every American warrior" and will "make our fighting force more lethal than ever before." In a video, Hegseth says that "the future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled A-I.""
"In a press release, Google laid out use cases that were decidedly less aggressive-sounding. The new platform, Google said, can enable tasks like "summarizing policy handbooks, generating project-specific compliance checklists, extracting key terms from statements of work, and creating detailed risk assessments for operational planning." It said that employees can only use the platform for unclassified work, and that data from it "is never used to train Google's public models.""
The Department of Defense announced GenAI.mil, a bespoke AI platform, with Google Cloud's Gemini designated as the first available AI tool. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the platform will place powerful frontier AI models into the hands of American service members and increase military lethality. Google described non-combat use cases such as summarizing policy handbooks, generating compliance checklists, extracting contract terms, and producing operational risk assessments, and stated that platform data is not used to train its public models. Some personnel expressed suspicion when encountering the platform on work computers, and access is limited to DoD networks while additional models are planned.
