War is more profitable than peace, and AI developers are eager to capitalize by offering the U.S. Department of Defense various generative AI tools for the battlefields of the future.

The latest evidence of this trend came last week when Claude AI developer Anthropic announced that it was partnering with military contractor Palantir and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide U.S. intelligence and the Pentagon access to Claude 3 and 3.5.

Anthropic said Claude will give U.S. defense and intelligence agencies powerful tools for rapid data processing and analysis, allowing the military to perform faster operations.

Experts say these partnerships allow the Department of Defense to quickly adopt advanced AI technologies without needing to develop them internally.

“As with many other technologies, the commercial marketplace always moves faster and integrates more rapidly than the government can,” retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Chris Becker told Decrypt in an interview. “If you look at how SpaceX went from an idea to implementing a launch and recovery of a booster at sea, the government might still be considering initial design reviews in that same period.”
