WASHINGTON — The Pentagon announced this morning that it has made agreements with eight leading tech firms to deploy their AIs on its classified networks.
An initial press release sent out this morning listed seven firms: Amazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, SpaceX, NVIDIA and Reflection, a newer startup backed by NVIDIA. Later today, the Pentagon CTO’s office posted on X that “Oracle has officially agreed to join the list of AI companies deploying frontier capabilities on the Department’s classified networks.”
Some of the companies are already on contract, a Pentagon spokesperson told Breaking Defense, while others are still finalizing the details.
“These agreements accelerate the transformation toward establishing the United States military as an AI-first fighting force and will strengthen our warfighters’ ability to maintain decision superiority across all domains of warfare,” the initial announcement says.
The eight companies’ AIs are now approved for networks classified as Impact Level 6, which refers to networks handling secret data, and Impact Level 7, a semi-official term for the most highly classified systems. It’s the latest expansion of Secretary Pete Hegseth’s push to bring rapidly advancing commercial AI into the Defense Department, building on the standup of the secure but unclassified GenAI.mil platform in December.

What could possibly go wrong...
.
Didn’t AI delete an entire company ,PocketOS , LOL
Deleted PocketOS in 9 seconds ,LOL
About time....😵💥
It’s like they are begging for Skynet. Might as well make T800s while they’re at it.
People worry so much about AU,
No need for that...
Just get your own MEGAN for protection, or Trump’s AI version, MAGAI.
On a positive note, this could be considered today’s good investment advice. The Pentagon is practically a money printing machine.
Oh boy! This has disaster written all over it.
Terminator world.
These are autonomous agents.
That’s not what I fear from AI.
I fear its capacity for making really big mistakes.
Thank goodness Cisco wasn’t included. Their constant security failures due to crappy outsourced indian coders would probably accidentally launch everything in our nuke arsenal, on ourselves! Sell that stagnating cisco stock my friends. Hasn’t moved much in a decade and when adjusted for inflation means a loss of probably 75% in your dollar.

It was just a test run..LOL
Seriously, there is (or should be) so much redundancy built into these systems that things like this should not happen.
