Summary

The Pentagon announced agreements with seven AI companies (OpenAI, Google, Nvidia, SpaceX, Reflection, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services) to use their technology for classified military work with no restrictions on how it can be used. Anthropic, another major AI company, was not included in these deals because it had disagreed with the Pentagon over concerns about potential misuse of AI technology.
