Gold 101.3 FM, UAE’s No.1 Malayalam radio station, reports that Google has reportedly entered a classified agreement with the US Pentagon to provide access to its artificial intelligence models for government use in sensitive and defense-related operations.
According to the report, the agreement allows the Pentagon to use Google’s AI systems for “any lawful government purpose,” including deployment on classified networks used for mission planning and other high-security military functions. This places Google alongside other major tech firms such as OpenAI and xAI, which are also working with the US defense sector to supply advanced AI tools.
The deal reportedly includes safety provisions stating that the AI systems should not be used for autonomous weapons or domestic mass surveillance without appropriate human oversight and control. However, it does not give Google the ability to control or veto how the technology is ultimately used by the government in operational decisions.
The report also highlights internal concern within Google, where more than 600 employees have signed an open letter urging the company to avoid making its AI systems available for classified military workloads, citing ethical risks and possible harmful uses of the technology.
Google has stated that it supports responsible AI development and deployment across both commercial and government sectors. The company emphasizes that its approach is aligned with industry safety standards and that AI should be used in a way that supports national security while maintaining human oversight in critical applications.
