Hegseth said the U.S. must stay ahead of adversaries who are working to take advantage of rapid technology advancements, like the development of AI.

The Pentagon is launching a platform powered by Google Gemini called GenAI.mil, giving 3 million military personnel access to advanced AI tools for research and analysis.

The Defense Department said it has chosen Alphabet Inc.’s Gemini for Government system to deliver artificial intelligence capability for its roughly three million civilian and military employees.

A new report suggested the brand was planning to bring ads to Gemini in 2026, but a Google representative has since denied the claims.

The Department of Defense tapped Google's Gemini for the first major deployment of its new generative AI platform, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said Tuesday. Why it matters: The rollout appears to be one of the first mass deployments of a commercially created generative AI tool across the entire Pentagon.

Google says Gemini can be used for things like summarizing policy handbooks and creating risk assessments. The Department of Defense is announcing its own “bespoke” AI platform, GenAI.mil, and Google Cloud’s Gemini will be the first AI tool available on it, according to a press release.
