Key facts

Summary

So will Newt Gingrich, for some reason. The US Department of Defense announced a new initiative that it says will identify the technological needs for future wars. Considering that in this calendar year, the Defense Department has already leaked classified war plans to a journalist in a Signal chat, narrowly avoided an international incident after allegedly relying on an AI-generated report, and illegally designated Anthropic a supply chain risk after the company refused to remove guardrails on its AI models, it seems like the military could benefit from some guidance.
