Sen. Elizabeth Warren pressed the Pentagon and seven U.S. technology companies to disclose details of their artificial-intelligence work for the military, citing concerns over opaque agreements and the risks of AI-enabled surveillance and weapons. In letters reviewed by NBC News, Warren asked for clarity on the scope, safeguards and accountability provisions in current contracts, reflecting rising scrutiny of AI’s role in defense. The request underscores tensions between national-security imperatives and demands for transparency as the Defense Department accelerates AI adoption. Any push for fuller disclosure could collide with confidentiality provisions common in procurement, setting up a test of how far Washington will go to illuminate the government’s ties to fast-moving AI firms.
