The government could potentially identify vulnerabilities across the country in systems with IP that could be susceptible to hacks, such as electricity grids or public hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think they\u2019ve all agreed and think it\u2019s a good idea to do that. That\u2019s been a good constructive process,\u201d Michael said. \u201cI give all the companies, Open AI, even Anthropic, and Google credit for sort of agreeing that was a smart thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anthropic has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2026\/05\/01\/pentagon-freezes-out-anthropic-as-it-signs-deals-with-ai-rivals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">left out<\/a> of deals with the Pentagon after the firm refused to allow unrestricted access to its Claude models for fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2026\/03\/09\/anthropic-sues-trump-administration-seeking-to-undo-supply-chain-risk-designation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">sued<\/a> the Trump administration over the federal government labeling the firm as a supply chain risk over its decision to restrict the military\u2019s use of its technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mythos, Anthropic\u2019s new model, has drawn criticism as skeptics of the program point out that it could pose a danger with its hacking and cybersecurity capabilities. Anthropic previewed the model and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anthropic.com\/glasswing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">announced<\/a> that it was capable of finding ways to exploit vulnerabilities in software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the DoD has integrated AI throughout the department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When posed a question at the summit about the government\u2019s usage of AI, Michael said that six months ago, only about 80,000 federal employees were AI users each month. But now, there are 1.5 million, he stated, saying that the government has \u201craced\u201d to ramp up usage among workers for efficiency, intelligence and warfighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think by the end of this year, I\u2019d be shocked if three quarters of the department isn\u2019t using AI in some way,\u201d Michael said. \u201cWe\u2019ve integrated all the biggest AI companies over the last few months, so, we\u2019re, in one year, going to make progress more than the five years before it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Trump&#8217;s recent executive order on AI, Emil Michael said that the weaponization of models is
