Alphabet's Google is reportedly in negotiations with the Department of Defense for a deal that would permit the Pentagon to deploy its Gemini AI models in classified environments. Discussions are centered on an agreement for all lawful uses of Google's AI technology.
During the talks, Google has put forward contract language aimed at preventing its AI from being used for domestic mass surveillance or autonomous weapons without human oversight.
A potential deal would bolster Alphabet's government partnerships as the U.S. military increasingly integrates artificial intelligence to enhance efficiency and administrative speed.
