Google reportedly agreed to let the Pentagon use AI for classified military applications.

Google reportedly agreed to allow the Department of Defense to use its AI models for classified military applications, joining other major tech firms like OpenAI and xAI. While the contract permits the Pentagon flexibility for lawful government purposes, it requires Google to adjust safety settings at the government's request. This move comes as hundreds of Google employees signed a letter urging the CEO to block the deal, citing ethical concerns about potential misuse of the technology.
