  Quote  Under eight agreements with Google, OpenAI, Amazon, Microsoft, SpaceX, Oracle, Nvidia and the start-up Reflection, the Pentagon said AI technology would now be used for any "lawful operational use".

"These agreements accelerate the transformation [of] the US military as an AI-first fighting force," the Pentagon said.

Conspicuous by its absence is Anthropic, as the company has said it is concerned about how the Pentagon could use its tools in warfare and domestically.

The firm is now suing the government over the alleged retaliation it faced after refusing to accept "any lawful use" language in its own contract.
