The US Department of Defense has a lot of congressionally mandated homework to do every year involving hundreds of required reports on various national security topics. But Pentagon officials have been proudly describing a new shortcut—using generative AI tools to write such reports for Congress.
Pentagon Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael highlighted AI-generated reports to Congress as a key example of how the Department of Defense—stylized as the Department of War under the Trump administration—has adopted generative AI during an event hosted by the Hudson Institute think tank in Washington, DC, on June 12. The Pentagon has made AI tools, starting with Google Cloud’s Gemini for Government, widely available to members of all six military branches through the department’s bespoke GenAI.mil platform since December 2025.
“I have to report to Congress every year on this thing,” Michael said. “Let me load all the papers onto it and have it draft me a congressional report that would otherwise take 200 hours of staffing time and do it in five hours.”
So all these AI companies also have access to all the information in those reports. That sure bodes well.
If they are reports to congres mandated by law, they are probably public information. They don’t mandate the ones that have the good stuff.
I’m pretty sure Congress gets reports that aren’t public information.
So this is odd. You felt the need to nitpick what I said, showing a detail orientation skew. But your response shows you didn’t read the details of what I said, showing a lack of detail orientation. So what gives, are you detail oriented or not? What drove you to make that comment?
JFC. These people are so stupid.
well this is the dumbest administration the USA has ever had… so using AI makes a lot of sense for them
Trump administration: It’s fine to not actually govern as long as we can make it appear so.
AI: It’s fine to not actually produce real work and intelligence as long as we can make it appear so.
Not exactly surprising they were made for each other.
Seriously, I can’t think of a better use for AI. Fuck the stupid politicians who will say and do anything to get elected.
And the penalty for signing some accidental lies and passing it to Congress is what, again?
That is not the flex that they think that it is
