Pentagon initiates rollout of AI platform powered by Google Gemini

On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the launch of GenAI.mil portal, powered by Google Gemini for Government as the first AI capability across the Defense Department.
Developed by the CDAO Rapid Capabilities Cell launched earlier this year, GenAI.mil aims to build an AI-first DoD workforce and accelerate AI adoption for enterprise, intelligence, and warfighting.
For security, the Pentagon says the platform requires a DoD common access card, and all tools are certified for CUI and IL5, with web-grounding and agentic workflows.
The rollout will give 3 million civilian and military personnel access to advanced AI tools under a $200,000,000 Google Public Sector contract, raising concerns over data concentration in private AI platforms.
Declaring the program transformational, Pete Hegseth, Defense Secretary, said `The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI`, while Sundar Pichai, Google CEO, said the rollout aids over 3 million personnel and noted other vendors like OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI were considered for GenAI.mil.
