Pete Hegseth accelerates the adoption of Elon Musk’s xAI despite mounting global scrutiny.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced a new partnership with Elon Musk’s xAI that will bring the Grok chatbot into Pentagon networks, marking a bold acceleration of the military’s embrace of artificial intelligence. Speaking during a visit to SpaceX, Hegseth said leading AI models would soon operate across both classified and unclassified Defense Department systems.
Grok will join Google’s generative AI tools inside the Pentagon later this month, according to Hegseth, who said the military plans to feed vast amounts of operational and intelligence data into AI systems.
