Military AI contracts awarded to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and xAI

The Pentagon opened the military gates of artificial intelligence and provided contracts of up to 800 million dollars to four of the largest names: Google, Openai, Anthropic and Elon Musk’s Xai. Each company gets a $ 200 million shot.

“The adoption of artificial intelligence turns the administration’s ability to support our men in war and maintain a strategic advantage over our opponents,” said Dr. Doug Matti, chief digital official and artificial intelligence officer.

“Benefiting from commercially available solutions in the integrated capacity approach will speed up the use of advanced artificial intelligence as part of the basic tasks of the joint task in our war’s wrestling field in addition to smart information systems, business and institutional information.”

The Pentagon plays it smart by not laying all its eggs in one basket. Instead of choosing one winner, they create competition between the best players in the hope of guaranteeing the best artificial intelligence solutions available to the military and broader government.

Just as this advertisement decreased, the Musk’s Xai “Grok For Goovernment”, which is a special version of artificial intelligence specifically designed for use by public agencies. This follows similar government initiatives from Openai and Anthropor.

The new government wing of Xai is everything from the latest GROK 4 to “Deep Search” and “Use of the tool”. They are even planning security permits for their engineers and making them work in classified environments.

It is clear that the company is trying to place itself as a national option, talking about “preserving American leadership in technological innovation” and “converting outskin into symbols” – whatever that is.

However, remember when Grok completely went out of the bars and started talking about “mechaitler”? This is exactly the type of thing that makes people feel nervous from the use of artificial intelligence for serious government work and even military purposes.

When you deal with national security, you cannot have your artificial intelligence assistant suddenly explodes a strange alternative history or make things. The risks are very high. It is like hiring someone to help with important decisions, but sometimes they start talking about nonsense.

This entire deal shows the seriousness of the government that takes artificial intelligence – it sees it is necessary to stay competitive. The partnership with the Public Services Department means that any federal agency can now benefit from these artificial intelligence tools, which makes it easier for everyone from the FBI to the Ministry of Agriculture to arrive.

Pentagon mainly works to experience a high risk. They are betting that by working with many artificial intelligence companies, they will get the best in the world while avoiding the risk of relying on only one provider. It is a smart strategy, but it also means that it will need to know how to manage all these different systems and make sure they work together.

The real test will be whether the tools of artificial intelligence can fulfill their promises in the government and the army without the embarrassing defects that have been afflicted with some of these regimes in the past. Because when it comes to national security, there is no “mechaitler” moment.
