The Pentagon on Friday signed agreements with seven leading artificial intelligence companies to run their technology on classified military networks. The War Department named the companies as SpaceX, OpenAI, Google, Nvidia, Reflection, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services. “Together, the War Department and these strategic partners share the conviction that American leadership in AI is indispensable to national security,” the Pentagon said in its official statement Friday.

The deals authorize the companies to deploy AI on Impact Level 6 and IL7 networks—the government’s highest-tier classified environments, used for everything from secret intelligence analysis to sensitive national security data.
