Microsoft and Palantir to Upgrade AI in Defense and National Security

The post Microsoft and Palantir to Upgrade AI in Defense and National Security appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Microsoft and Palantir on Thursday announced a partnership to enhance the national security capabilities of U.S. defense and intelligence agencies with AI, which the company says is a first within classified systems. Palantir is a data analytics company known for providing software platforms that help organizations integrate and analyze large, complex datasets. Through this new collaboration, Palantir’s technologies will be integrated with Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing services, including advanced language models like GPT-4 from OpenAI. Cloud computing has become essential for powering advanced AI systems, which require immense computational resources that often exceed the capabilities of local infrastructure. By tapping into the scalable resources of the cloud, AI applications can be hosted and run remotely, overcoming local hardware limitations. However, for sensitive national security applications, using general public cloud environments poses significant security and compliance risks. This is where the partnership between Microsoft and Palantir comes into play. By integrating Palantir’s AI platforms and tools with Microsoft’s government-approved cloud infrastructure—including the Azure Government Secret and Top Secret clouds—the U.S. agencies can now leverage cutting-edge AI capabilities within their isolated, classified computing environments. Military, intelligence, and national security agencies will be able to harness the power of cloud-based AI while maintaining the necessary levels of security and control required for their critical missions. “Bringing Palantir and Microsoft capabilities to our national security apparatus is a step change in how we can support the defense and intelligence communities,” said Palantir’s CTO Shyam Sankar in an official announcement, “[Palantir] has pioneered the approach to operationalizing AI value—beyond chat—across the enterprise. “We’re thrilled to be the first industry partner to deploy Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service in classified environments,” Sankar added. According to Palantir, its suite of tools will be deployed within Microsoft’s government and classified cloud environments and will enable national security operators to…
