> As of January, the Pentagon has planned a six-month review of women in ground combat jobs. But we already know women perform effectively in combat. Kris Fuhr, a West Point graduate who worked on gender integration at Army Forces Command, called the review “a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist,” and pointed to an Army study running from 2018 to 2023 showing women in ground combat units performed as well as men, and in some cases better.

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Google has reportedly signed a classified‑use agreement with the U.S. Pentagon that allows the military to employ the company’s artificial‑intelligence models for any lawful government purpose, joining other Silicon Valley firms such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Elon Musk’s xAI. The contract, worth up to $200 million, requires Google to adjust AI safety settings at the Pentagon’s request but specifies that the technology must not be used for domestic mass surveillance or autonomous weapons without human oversight, and Google does not retain veto power over lawful operational decisions. The deal has sparked significant employee backlash, with more than 600 staff signing an open letter urging CEO Sundar Pichai to refuse providing AI for classified workloads, recalling earlier protests that led Google to drop the Project Maven contract in 2018.
