펜타곤, OpenAI·Google·Nvidia와 기밀 AI 계약 체결
펜타곤이 OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, xAI, Reflection과 기밀 AI 협정을 체결했다. 이번 계약은 AI 우선 전투력을 구축하기 위한 합법적 작전 활용을 허용한다. Anthropic은 이전의 2억 달러 계약이 있었음에도 자율무기와 감시에 대한 레드라인 완화를 거부하여 공급망 리스크로 제외되었다.
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.
