Google and the Pentagon sign classified deal to give the Department of Defense unfettered access to its AI models

Google has entered into a classified agreement with the US Department of Defense, granting the military access to its AI models for unspecified lawful purposes. Despite assurances regarding responsible use, concerns have been raised by over 560 Google employees who signed an open letter urging the company to reject such deals due to potential misuse in surveillance and weaponry. Google joins other tech companies like OpenAI and xAI in making similar classified AI agreements with the government.
