Google said on Tuesday that it had signed a deal to provide the Pentagon with its artificial intelligence models for classified work, amid a dispute between the Department of Defense and the A.I. start-up Anthropic over how to responsibly use the technology during war.
The agreement is part of a $200 million contract that the search giant signed last year with the Pentagon to provide it with A.I. tools. Now the Pentagon can use Google’s A.I. on classified systems for “any lawful governmental purpose,” people with knowledge of the deal said. The language mirrored that of deals the Department of Defense struck last month with OpenAI and Elon Musk’s xAI to use their A.I. models on classified networks, people who had reviewed the contracts said.
