Grok is in, ethics are out in Pentagon’s new AI-acceleration strategy

Patrick Tucker

Seven projects are to lead the charge to embed artificial intelligence ever more deeply in military affairs.n The Pentagon’s third AI-acceleration strategy in four years sets up seven “pace-setting projects” that will “unlock critical foundational enablers” for other U.S. military efforts, the department announced Monday.

The six-page document also directs the department’s many components to fulfil a four-year goal to make their data centrally available for AI training and analysis. It omits any mention of ethical use of AI and casts suspicion on the concept of AI responsibility while banning the use of models that incorporate DEI-related “ideological ‘tuning.’”
