The U.S. Defense Department has signed agreements with seven leading AI companies, including Amazon Web Services, Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, Nvidia, Reflection, and SpaceX, to deploy their AI technologies on classified networks. This move aims to prevent reliance on a single AI vendor and ensure flexibility for military operations.
