On December 8, 2025, the US Department of Defense launched GenAI.mil, a generative AI platform utilizing Google Cloud’s Gemini, aiming to enhance operational efficiency for approximately three million military and civilian personnel. This initiative, framed as a response to the need for AI superiority, could significantly improve US military capabilities in areas like logistics and intelligence analysis, potentially widening the techno-military gap with regional adversaries such as China and Pakistan. For India, this development underscores the urgency of developing sovereign AI systems for defense and leveraging US partnerships to enhance interoperability, while also emphasizing the necessity to maintain control over its own defense data and technological dependencies.
