Description:
Microsoft has created an offline generative AI model designed exclusively for 
U.S. intelligence services.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

AI technology has already proved instrumental in transforming and disrupting 
a wide range of industries , and really its just getting started. 

Microsoft, which has gone all-in on artificial intelligence, has developed a 
generative AI model designed expressly for U.S. intelligence services. Unlike 
other AI platforms, such as Microsofts own Copilot, this one will be air 
gapped and wont require a potentially unsafe connection to the internet. 

 Bloomberg notes, Its the first time a major large language model has 
operated fully separated from the internet Most AI models, including OpenAIs 
ChatGPT rely on cloud services to learn and infer patterns from data, but 
Microsoft wanted to deliver a truly secure system to the US intelligence 
community. 18 months of development 

The tool will allow intelligence services to use AI for tasks such as 
analyzing vast swathes of classified data without the fear of data leaks or 
hacks that could potentially compromise national security. 

William Chappell, Microsofts CTO for Strategic Missions and Technology, told 
Bloomberg that the company spent 18 months working on this special 
GPT-4-based tool which will be able to read and analyze content, answer 
questions and write code without needing to go online. Equally importantly, 
it reportedly wont learn from, or be trained on, the data it is fed. 

At a security conference last month, Sheetal Patel, assistant director of the 
CIA for the Transnational and Technology Mission Center, said, There is a 
race to get generative AI onto intelligence data, and I want it to be us.
