Alphabet¡¯s Google is introducing artificial intelligence agents across the Pentagon¡¯s 3 million-strong workforce to automate routine jobs, according to a senior defense official.
Google¡¯s Gemini AI agents, which can undertake work independently on behalf of a user who sets them tasks, will initially operate on unclassified networks, said Emil Michael, the under secretary of defense for research and engineering.
¡°We¡¯re starting with unclassified because that¡¯s where most of the users are, and then we¡¯ll get to classified and top secret,¡± Michael said in an interview, adding that talks with Google over using the agents on the classified cloud are under way. ¡°I have high confidence they¡¯re going to be a great partner on all networks.¡±
