Pentagon GenAI.mil tops 2M users in first week; DOD rejects AI slowdown

The Pentagon's GenAI.mil platform surpassed 2 million users within its first week, signaling rapid adoption of generative AI across the U.S. military. The DOD's top AI officer explicitly rejected calls for a slowdown in AI development, framing restraint as 'unilateral disarmament.' This indicates an accelerating U.S. military AI integration and a firm policy stance against moratoriums, which may influence allied and adversary postures.
