May 7, 2024, 07:41 PM

Microsoft has launched a new generative AI service designed specifically for U.S. intelligence agencies, which operates completely isolated from the internet. This AI tool, based on GPT-4, is intended to help analyze top-secret information securely. The service, described as being air-gapped and went live on Thursday, has no direct connection to the internet, enhancing its security for handling classified data. It is now live and capable of answering questions and writing code, following the overhaul of a supercomputer. This deployment marks the first time a major large language model has been fully separated from the internet for such sensitive use.
