US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced plans to integrate Elon Musk's Grok AI into Pentagon classified and unclassified networks later this month, despite recent controversies around the tool generating inappropriate images. The announcement includes a broader AI acceleration strategy for the Department of Defense that aims to eliminate bureaucratic barriers and enforce data policies across IT systems. Grok would join other AI models already adopted by the Pentagon, including systems from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and xAI through contracts worth up to $200 million each.
