The U.S. Department of Defense plans to fully integrate the Grok system into the Pentagon network in late January

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced plans to fully integrate the Grok artificial intelligence system developed by xAI into the Pentagon's network later this month, covering approximately 3 million military and civilian personnel. The tool will be deployed alongside Google's Gemini system on the GenAI.mil platform at the highest security level (impact level 5), providing dynamic intelligence support for military operations and planning by real-time data scraping from the X platform.

Hegseth stated that this move would create a "decisive advantage" and is an important part of his strategy to promote the rapid application of artificial intelligence in the defense system without ideological constraints. However, critics have raised concerns about risks such as system errors, algorithmic bias, and Elon Musk's potential influence on defense decision-making.
