Department of Defense
The Department of Defense is the U.S. military agency responsible for national defense and military operations. The Pentagon has emerged as one of the world's largest AI adopters, with its GenAI.mil platform now used by 1.5 million military personnel daily. The DoD is pursuing an AI-first strategy across its operations, including using AI to draft Congressional reports and developing autonomous weapons systems. The Pentagon requested $54.6 billion in its fiscal 2027 budget for AI and autonomous capabilities. The military's rapid expansion of AI has generated significant debate within the technology industry, reflecting tensions between national security priorities and ethical AI development concerns.
