Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (who has dubbed himself Secretary of War, though the name has not been legally changed by Congress) promised that the platform « puts the worlds [sic] most powerful frontier AI models directly into the hands of every American warrior » and will « make our fighting force more lethal than ever before. » In a video, Hegseth says that « the future of American warfare is here, and it’s spelled A-I. »
