Meta lets US military use its Llama AI model for ‘national security applications’


  • Meta will now collaborate with government agencies to develop military applications
  • Concerns have been raised about the security risks to AI
  • Researchers find evidence that China has already used Lama for defense

Meta announced that it is offering the use of its Llama generative AI model to government organizations for “national security applications,” and that it is working with U.S. agencies and contractors to support their work.

Among the companies Meta works with are Lockheed Martin, AWS and Oracle. One example the company gives is its partnership with Oracle to “curate aircraft maintenance documents” so technicians can diagnose problems “faster and more accurately.”
