Pentagon Inks AI Deal with 7 Tech Giants to Boost 2026 Warfare Capabilities

 In May 2026, the Pentagon partnered with seven tech giants, including SpaceX and Google, to integrate AI into classified military networks. While Anthropic remains blacklisted by the Trump administration due to safety disagreements, the deal aims to make the U.S. military "AI-first." Backed by significant 2026 legislative funding, the Pentagon seeks tactical decision-making superiority, even as legal battles continue over the ethical use of AI in autonomous weaponry.
