The DOD&#8217;s workforce of more than 3 million people will now be able to use a no-code or low-code tool called Agent Designer to create their own digital assistants for repetitive administrative tasks. <\/p>\n<p>Google said that those agents can help with work such as drafting meeting notes, creating action items and breaking large projects into step-by-step plans. They will initially run on unclassified networks, but talks are reportedly already underway about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-03-10\/google-to-provide-pentagon-with-ai-agents-for-unclassified-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expanding them to classified and top-secret environments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Emil Michael, the DOD&#8217;s technology chief, told Bloomberg he has &#8220;high confidence&#8221; Google will be &#8220;a great partner on all networks.&#8221; Michael also told Bloomberg the Pentagon was &#8220;moving on&#8221; from its dispute with Anthropic and that the issue would not be resolved through the courts. <\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/03\/05\/anthropic-ceo-says-no-choice-but-to-challenge-trump-admins-supply-chain-risk-designation-in-court.html\">Anthropic confirmed<\/a>\u00a0that it had officially been designated a supply chain risk, an extraordinary move that&#8217;s historically been reserved for foreign adversaries. In its legal complaint on Monday, Anthropic said the government&#8217;s actions are &#8220;unprecedented and unlawful&#8221; and claimed they are &#8220;harming Anthropic irreparably.&#8221; Anthropic was booted for refusing to allow the DOD to use its technology for autonomous weapons or domestic surveillance.<\/p>\n<p>Until recently, Anthropic had been the only AI provider operating inside the Pentagon&#8217;s classified cloud. But the Defense Department has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/02\/27\/openai-strikes-deal-with-pentagon-hours-after-rival-anthropic-was-blacklisted-by-trump.html\">added OpenAI<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/elon-musk\/\">Elon Musk&#8217;s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2026\/02\/23\/ai-defense-department-deal-musk-xai-grok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">xAI<\/a> to restricted networks, while also expanding cooperation with Google.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The rollout also lands at a moment of rising tension inside the tech industry over the military&#8217;s use of AI.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Google AI chief Jeff Dean, along with a couple dozen other employees from OpenAI and Google, signed onto an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.courtlistener.com\/docket\/72379655\/24\/1\/anthropic-pbc-v-us-department-of-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">amicus brief<\/a> backing Anthropic in its court battle against the Pentagon.
