The US Department of Defense has a lot of congressionally mandated homework to do every year involving hundreds of required reports on various national security topics. But Pentagon officials have been proudly describing a new shortcut—using generative AI tools to write such reports for Congress.
Pentagon Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael highlighted AI-generated reports to Congress as a key example of how the Department of Defense—stylized as the Department of War under the Trump administration—has adopted generative AI during an event hosted by the Hudson Institute think tank in Washington, DC, on June 12. The Pentagon has made AI tools, starting with Google Cloud’s Gemini for Government, widely available to members of all six military branches through the department’s bespoke GenAI.mil platform since December 2025.
“I have to report to Congress every year on this thing,” Michael said. “Let me load all the papers onto it and have it draft me a congressional report that would otherwise take 200 hours of staffing time and do it in five hours.”
So we can reduce the budget then… Right?
So all these AI companies also have access to all the information in those reports. That sure bodes well.
No, the models get hosted privately in heavily regulated cloud environments or locally in air-gapped infrastructure. However, these people are 100% dumb enough to paste shit into their personal Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini accounts. So you’re probably still correct
Those companies are being fed military intelligence to determine which schools to bomb in Iran.
They already have security clearances and multimillion dollar contracts with them, which requires dedicated military hardware in compliant data center.
It’s an issue, but not how you’re suggesting
If they are reports to congres mandated by law, they are probably public information. They don’t mandate the ones that have the good stuff.
I’m pretty sure Congress gets reports that aren’t public information.
So this is odd. You felt the need to nitpick what I said, showing a detail orientation skew. But your response shows you didn’t read the details of what I said, showing a lack of detail orientation. So what gives, are you detail oriented or not? What drove you to make that comment?
Honestly, this is for the best. It means that when a civil war comes, The Neo Confederates would be relying upon unverified information for everything, and probably selectively ignore the useful parts.
JFC. These people are so stupid.
JFC = Just Fucking Cill me?
Jesus Fucking Christ
Jesus Fried Chicken.
well this is the dumbest administration the USA has ever had… so using AI makes a lot of sense for them
It’s the only intelligence they have
A.I. is stupid’s people new magic… they were disappointed when they discovered magnets don’t work under water
Trump administration: It’s fine to not actually govern as long as we can make it appear so.
AI: It’s fine to not actually produce real work and intelligence as long as we can make it appear so.
Not exactly surprising they were made for each other.
And the penalty for signing some accidental lies and passing it to Congress is what, again?
That is not the flex that they think that it is
Seriously, I can’t think of a better use for AI. Fuck the stupid politicians who will say and do anything to get elected.
Yeah, why would they need information to write laws? Might as well do that based on vibes and outaourxe that to GPT as well.
They don’t write the laws. They don’t even read them. They have even admitted to this. Some lobbyists writes the laws, and they vote based on how much miney they got from that lobby, and what the polling numbers say people “think” of the law. They don’t need information from the Pentagon for any of that. Besides, the mandatory reports are the result of an existing law. So it is more about compliance than about making new laws.
