Overview
- The Department of Defense unveiled GenAI.mil as a secure, enterprise platform for generative AI, with Google Cloud’s Gemini for Government as the inaugural capability.
- Google says more than 3 million civilian and military personnel will gain access, with initial use focused on unclassified workflows such as document creation, onboarding, and contract processes.
- Pentagon officials outlined three priority use areas for the platform: business transformation, intelligence data analysis, and warfighting support including logistics, planning, and modeling and simulation.
- The rollout includes no-cost training for department employees and technical safeguards such as web-grounding to reduce hallucinations, with tools certified for CUI and IL5 use.
- A public link shared during the announcement appeared inaccessible to outside users; officials said the portal functions on internal networks and requires authorized access, and additional vendors are expected to be onboarded over time.
