Trump's AI Memo Accelerates Military Adoption of Frontier Models with New Restrictions

President Trump signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum on Friday to accelerate AI adoption across federal defense agencies, mandating rapid onboarding of frontier models from multiple vendors. The memo requires the Secretary of Defense to update autonomous weapons directives and introduces a restriction preventing entities from disabling or modifying AI systems used by the military without prior approval. It also prohibits defense agencies from creating AI that censors free speech or embeds ideological bias.
