The U.S. Department of War announced it has entered into agreements with seven leading AI companies—SpaceX, OpenAI, Google, NVIDIA, Reflection, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services—to deploy their advanced AI capabilities on the Department's classified networks for lawful operational use. The announcement was made via a press release on the department's official website.

The release did not specify which AI capabilities would be deployed or provide details on the scope of the agreements. It stated that the deployments would be for 'lawful operational use,' without further elaboration on the types of operations or any limitations. The companies named include major technology firms and specialised AI developers.

This move represents a significant integration of commercial AI into U.S. military infrastructure. The classified nature of the networks means that specific applications are likely to remain undisclosed.
