The United States Department of Defense is deploying AI agents based on Gemini AI to automate administrative tasks.
Developed by Google, the system is expected to support approximately 30,000 Department of Defense personnel.
Emil Michael, the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, stated that AI agents can independently execute relevant workflows once users set tasks.
Expansion of AI Collaboration with Military Institutions
Currently, these systems will operate in non-classified network environments, but in the future, they may expand to classified cloud platforms.
Jim Kelly, a Google Vice President, mentioned that this technology enables users to generate AI agents through natural language to complete daily tasks.
Evolution of Relationships Between Tech Companies and the Military
In recent years, the collaboration between technology enterprises and the government in the AI sector has been continuously expanding.
However, Google's earlier cooperation with the Pentagon on the Project Maven caused employee protests against using AI technology for military purposes.
This historical context presents certain public opinion pressures for technology companies in their cooperation with the military.
