Trump Directs Accelerated Military AI Use with Emphasis on Oversight and Vendor Diversity
President Donald Trump issued a memo directing the U.S. military and national security agencies to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence while ensuring safeguards such as human oversight, respect for the chain of command, and protection of civil liberties. The directive updates policies on autonomous weapons and calls for working with multiple AI vendors to avoid reliance on a single provider, following disputes with companies like Anthropic. The administration emphasizes responsible AI use consistent with U.S. laws and values.
