Meta's Llama AI Models Deployed for U.S. National Security

Meta is making its Llama AI models available to U.S. government agencies and contractors for national security applications, partnering with companies like Oracle and Lockheed Martin. This move aims to counter concerns about its AI aiding foreign adversaries, following reports of unauthorized use by Chinese researchers. While Meta's policy typically prohibits military use, exceptions are being made for certain government agencies. The use of AI in defense remains controversial due to potential risks, including data vulnerabilities and biases.
