On Tuesday, the Department of Defense (referred to as the Department of War by the current administration) announced that it is launching an AI platform called GenAI.mil, which will allow members of the military to access a suite of AI tools. The Department is tapping into America’s commercial genius, and we’re embedding generative AI into our daily battle rhythm.” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth remarked, “AI tools present boundless opportunities to increase efficiency, and we are thrilled to witness AI’s future positive impact across the War Department.” On a video posted to X, Hegseth said, “The future of American warfare is here, and it’s spelled AI,” whatever that means. The announcement of the platform is full of platitudes and short on details (so short, in fact, that Axios reported the agency hasn’t even commented on what capabilities employees can access via the newly deployed platform), but it seems the Department is deploying Gemini for Government, Google’s AI platform designed specifically to comply with government operations, via GenAI.mil, which will be accessible to over three million users at the Pentagon at different classification levels, including civilians, contractors, and military personnel.
