U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced plans on January 13 to fully integrate xAI’s Grok artificial intelligence system into the Pentagon’s network later this month, covering roughly 3 million military and civilian personnel. The tool will be deployed alongside Google’s Gemini on the GenAI.mil platform at the highest security level—Impact Level 5—providing dynamic intelligence support for military operations and planning through real-time data ingestion from X. Hegseth noted the move will deliver a “decisive advantage” and is a key part of his push to rapidly apply AI strategies to the defense system without ideological constraints. Critics, however, have raised concerns about system errors, algorithmic biases, and potential Musk influence over defense decision-making.
