Pentagon Signs befassen sich mit dem Einsatz von AI -Agenten für die militärische Verwendung: „Was könnte schief gehen?“

Submission statement: The Pentagon has signed a deal with AI company Scale AI, in an initiative it’s calling „Thunderforge,“ to use AI agents for military planning and operations.

Yet the encroachment of AI tech within the military has been unmistakable. Both [Google](https://www.theregister.com/2025/02/05/google_ai_principles_update/) and %5BOpenAI%5D(https://futurism.com/google-quietly-promise-ai-evil) have walked back rules forbidding the use of their AI tech for weapons development and surveillance, showing that Silicon Valley is opening up to the idea of having its tools be used by the military.

Just last month, a senior Pentagon official [told *Defense One*](https://www.defenseone.com/technology/2025/02/pentagon-may-break-tech-offices-acquisition-policy-shift/403167/) that the US military was looking to move away from funding research on the topic of autonomous killer robots and investing in [actual AI-powered weaponry](https://futurism.com/the-byte/openai-cuts-off-chatgpt-robot-rifle) instead.

And it goes beyond the Pentagon. Late last year, OpenAI also [announced](https://www.anduril.com/article/anduril-partners-with-openai-to-advance-u-s-artificial-intelligence-leadership-and-protect-u-s/) a partnership with Palmer Luckey’s defense tech company Anduril to focus on „improving the nation’s counter-unmanned aircraft systems (CUAS) and their ability to detect, assess and respond to potentially lethal aerial threats in real-time.“
