However, according to a report from The Information (via news agency Reuters), the tech giant is insisting on strict contract terms to ensure the technology isn\u2019t misused.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"3\"\/>The report claims that the the deal will allow the Pentagon to deploy Gemini in \u201cclassified settings\u201d, which is nothing but highly secure environments where the nation&#8217;s most sensitive data is handled. While the agreement would allow the military to use the AI for \u2018all lawful uses,\u2019 Google has reportedly proposed specific language to prevent the technology from crossing certain ethical lines.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"5\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Google likely wants same conditions as Anthropic <br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The company wants to ensure its AI is not used for domestic mass surveillance (which is monitoring American citizens on a large scale) and deploying weapons that can act on their own without \u201cappropriate human control.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Reports claimed that these two conditions were the point of contention between the Pentagon and Anthropic. Earlier this year, Anthropic refused to allow its AI (Claude) to be used for autonomous weapons or mass surveillance, following which the AI company was declared a supply chain risk \u2013 a designation rarely applied to US firms \u2013 leading to a lawsuit by Anthropic claiming violation of First Amendment rights.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Conversely, OpenAI has partnered with the Pentagon, moving in to fill the gap left by Anthropic. The ChatGPT-maker received criticism over quickly grabbing the opportunity. The company later said it was working with the Pentagon to revise the language of the contract.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>This also suggests tension between Silicon Valley\u2019s ethical standards and the government\u2019s push for advanced military tech using AI.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Why this deal matters for Google<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>A partnership with the US government would be a major win for Alphabet (Google&#8217;s parent company), helping it strengthen its ties to the government. At the same time, the US is moving aggressively to embed AI into its systems to cut costs and speed up slow administrative tasks.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/technology\/tech-news\/as-pentagon-is-planning-to-sign-secret-ai-deal-with-google-the-company-makes-it-clear-in-the-contract-that-\/articleshow\/130317286.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google is said to be in talks with the Department of War (previously Department of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12459,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[30162,30160,2511,30159,30161,30165,30164,30163],"class_list":["post-12458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-anthropic-ai-ethical-standards","tag-gemini-ai-military-use","tag-google","tag-google-ai-pentagon-deal","tag-google-department-of-defense","tag-openai-pentagon-partnership","tag-pentagon-classified-settings","tag-us-military-ai-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12458\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
