United States: the military rolls out GenAI.mil, an AI platform

The integration of artificial intelligence into the U.S. military is thus intended to help “revive the warrior ethos, rebuild U.S. military capabilities, and restore deterrence through technological supremacy,” the statement adds.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced on December 9, 2025, the launch of GenAI.mil, a military-oriented artificial intelligence platform built on Gemini, Google’s AI assistant. Its initial objective is to improve the productivity of the Pentagon’s roughly three million civilian and military personnel.

The associated chatbot will be authorized to process sensitive but unclassified data. According to the Department of Defense, the risk of hallucinations has been “reduced,” thanks to Google’s latest technological advances.

In the longer term, the ambition is explicit: to put Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, “directly into the hands of every American soldier,” in Pete Hegseth’s words. In a statement, the Pentagon even states its intention to deploy AI as an operational “combat force.”
