Pentagon formalizes Palantir Maven as official military AI backbone
The Pentagon says Palantir’s Maven AI system will become an official program of record, with funding and governance streamlined across the armed services, and oversight moved from the NGA to the Pentagon’s AI office; the system—already a primary battlefield AI tool for targeting—could be deployed widely by the end of the fiscal year, as the military expands AI use while addressing ethical and human-planning safeguards amid ongoing Palantir contracts.
