OpEd: Pentagon's embrace of AI raises safety concerns

The op-ed criticizes the Pentagon's GenAI.mil platform, announced in December 2025 for over 3 million users, which started with Google's Gemini and later added Grok and ChatGPT Mil. Anthropic was designated a 'supply-chain risk' and removed from national-security systems over its limits on mass surveillance and lethal autonomy. The author argues risk calls should not be left to AI firms, and notes plans for an Autonomous Warfare Command by 2027.
