Google has signed a classified deal that allows the U.S. Department of Defense to use its AI models for “any lawful government purpose,” as reported by The Information. The agreement was disclosed less than a day after Google employees urged CEO Sundar Pichai to block the Pentagon from using its AI, citing concerns that it could be employed in “inhumane or extremely harmful ways.”
