[ALERT] Department of War Developing AI-Driven Domestic Surveillance Infrastructure with Cybersecurity Concerns
SurveillanceCybersecurityAI EthicsPrivacy
The Department of War (formerly DoD) is developing a federated AI system integrating domestic and foreign intelligence data, centralized under the authority of the Wartime CDAO with expanded powers to bypass confidentiality protocols. A memo from January 9, 2026, and the TRUMP AMERICA AI Act (January 2026) remove state privacy protections and exempt the project from standard legal controls. Project Grant aims for real-time analysis of patterns of life for predictive interventions, while AI labs like Anthropic are compelled to comply or risk being labeled a supply chain risk.
