📣 Microsoft Releases AI Tool for U.S. Intelligence Agencies
posted 7 May 2024
Microsoft has developed a generative AI model specifically for U.S. intelligence agencies, aimed at processing the large volumes of confidential data they receive daily. This AI operates independently of the internet and is managed via a dedicated cloud infrastructure.
The company invested more than 18 months in developing the project, which is based on the large language model GPT-4. Designed to be static, the AI does not learn from new inputs, a feature that safeguards against the potential leakage of sensitive information.
There is a race to get generative AI onto intelligence data. And I want it to be us,Sheetal Patel, assistant director of the CIA, remarked on their efforts to lead in this area.
Prior to its deployment, the new system will undergo a thorough review and must be approved by intelligence agency analysts. Previously, OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, had signed an agreement with the Pentagon to develop open-source AI tools aimed at enhancing U.S. cybersecurity.
