(Central News Agency, Washington, 1st, Comprehensive foreign reports) The U.S. Department of War announced today that it has reached agreements with 7 leading artificial intelligence (AI) companies, including NVIDIA, to deploy their advanced technologies in classified networks. This move demonstrates the military's expanded diversity of AI partners.
Reuters reported that the Pentagon stated: "These agreements will accelerate the U.S. military's transformation towards 'AI-first' combat capabilities and strengthen the ability of warfighters to maintain decision advantage across all operational domains."
The seven companies are NVIDIA, SpaceX, AI startup OpenAI, Google, AI company Reflection, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services.
The Pentagon's statement specifically excluded AI startup Anthropic, which has disagreements with the Pentagon regarding norms for the military use of AI tools.
The Pentagon had listed Anthropic as a "supply chain risk" earlier this year, prohibiting the Department of War and its contractors from using the company's technology. (Translators: Kao Chao-fen/Editors: Liu Shu-chin) 1150501
