The U.S. Department of Defense plans to fully integrate the Grok system into the Pentagon network in late January.

According to Mars Finance, on January 13th, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced plans to fully integrate the Grok AI system, developed by xAI, into the Pentagon network later this month, covering approximately 3 million military and civilian personnel. This tool will be deployed alongside Google's Gemini system on the GenAI.mil platform at the highest security level (Impact Level 5), providing dynamic intelligence support for military operations and planning by capturing real-time data from the X platform. Hegseth stated that this move will create a "decisive advantage" and is a crucial step in his strategy to rapidly apply AI to the defense system without ideological constraints. However, critics have raised concerns about risks such as systemic errors, algorithmic bias, and the potential influence of Elon Musk on defense decision-making.
