Trump memo sends advanced AI to military with approval controls

The Trump administration directs federal defense agencies to rapidly adopt the most advanced AI models from multiple vendors. Commercial and open-source AI tools must be adapted for military use with prior government approval. No entity can disable or modify AI systems in use by warfighters without explicit authorization. The memo prohibits defense agencies from creating AI that censors free speech or conducts unlawful surveillance. The government gets a 30-day window to review frontier models before public release.
