The Pentagon has chosen Alphabet’s Gemini for Government to deliver artificial-intelligence capabilities across roughly three million civilian and uniformed employees, formalizing Google’s role in the Defense Department’s AI push. The GenAI.mil platform is intended to speed analysis of video and imagery and drive broader cultural adoption of AI on the battlefield, the department said. The move follows a previously announced $200 million Google Cloud contract and comes as other AI firms, including OpenAI, Elon Musk’s xAI and Anthropic, secured similar DoD awards. The selection underscores the Pentagon’s multi-vendor approach to AI and cloud modernization amid intensifying competition among Big Tech and AI specialists for federal dollars.
