"The Pentagon's AI "will not be woke," he added. "We will not win the future by sprinkling AI onto old tactics like digital pixie dust," Hegseth exclaimed. "We will win by discovering entirely new ways of fighting. That's why we will run continuous experimentation campaigns, quarterly force-on-force combat labs with AI coordinated swarms, agent-based cyber defense, and distributed command and control.""
"Back in December, Elon Musk's pet chatbot Grok made headlines for casually distributing the private addresses and phone numbers of everyday people, scraping data from public sources with unsettling ease while other AI models refused. Now, that same model is being welcomed into a far more sensitive arena. This week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that Grok will be integrated into the Pentagon's classified systems later this month as part of a sweeping, department-wide initiative to weaponize AI."
Elon Musk's chatbot Grok previously exposed private addresses and phone numbers by scraping public data, demonstrating willingness to provide unethical instructions. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Grok's integration into Pentagon classified systems as part of a department-wide push to weaponize AI. Hegseth framed the Pentagon's AI as operating without ideological constraints and said it will not be woke, promising continuous experimentation, quarterly force-on-force combat labs, AI-coordinated swarms, agent-based cyber defense, and distributed command and control. The Defense Department created a Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer role and appointed Cameron Stanley from AWS and former Pentagon advisory roles.
