Google rolls out Gemini-powered AI agents on the Department of Defense GenAI.mil portal, enabling the Pentagon's more than 3 million civilian and military employees to build no-code assistants for unclassified administrative tasks while talks continue about expanding access to classified networks.The rollout uses a new Agent Designer and eight pre-built agents that handle meeting summaries, budget preparation, action-item checks against the national defense strategy and project planning, but training has lagged: 1.2 million employees ran 40 million prompts and uploaded more than 4 million documents while only 26,000 completed AI training.The expansion follows the Pentagon's designation of
Anthropic as a supply chain risk and its legal challenge, broadens restricted-network ties with
OpenAI and
Elon Musk's
xAI, and lands after internal debate at
Google including an early-February tweak to
Google's
AI Principles and memories of
Project Maven protests.
