Google to Provide AI APIs for Pentagon

Google (Alphabet) amended its contract with the US Defense Department to allow Pentagon access to its commercial AI models via API.
The agreement excludes custom model development, limiting the Pentagon to use existing Google AI services on Google infrastructure.
Google emphasized responsible use, stating AI should not be used for domestic mass surveillance or autonomous weapons without human oversight.
Hundreds of AI researchers urged CEO Sundar Pichai to refuse providing AI for classified defense workloads.
