ペンタゴン、OpenAI・Google・Nvidiaと機密指定のAI契約を締結
ペンタゴンはOpenAI、Google、Microsoft、Amazon、Nvidia、xAI、Reflectionと機密指定のAI契約を締結した。これらの契約により、AIファーストの戦闘部隊を創設するための合法的な運用利用が可能となる。Anthropicは自律型兵器および監視に関するレッドラインの緩和を拒否したため、以前の2億ドルの契約にもかかわらず、サプライチェーンリスクとして除外された。
The Defense Department secured contracts allowing seven companies—OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, xAI, and Reflection—to provide AI tools for classified military use. Defense Department CTO Emil Michael stated these agreements aim to establish an 'AI-first fighting force.' The contracts formalize recent 'lawful use' understandings with OpenAI and xAI, while Google reportedly finalized a similar deal through a separate report.
Anthropic was excluded from these agreements and labeled a supply-chain risk. This follows a dispute where Anthropic rejected terms regarding mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. Despite holding a previous $200 million contract for classified work, Anthropic sued the federal government and secured a temporary injunction.
