Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and NVIDIA will provide AI tech to Pentagon

Key points

• You can add Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and NVIDIA to the growing list of tech giants that have decided to give the US Defense Department access to their AI tools.
• According to Bloomberg, the three companies — alongside a forth, Reflection AI — have signed agreements granting the Pentagon use of their AI technologies "for lawful operational use" on classified military networks.
• "These agreements accelerate the transformation toward establishing the United States military as an AI-first fighting force," the Pentagon said in a statement shared with Bloomberg.
• The four companies join xAI, OpenAI and Google in signing similar deals with the Defense Department.
• That essentially leaves Anthropic as the lone major US-based AI provider without a working agreement with the Pentagon.
