The U.S. Department of the Navy has designated GenAI.mil as its enterprise IT service for handling controlled unclassified information (CUI) and Impact Level 5 (IL5) generative AI use, formalizing its department-wide AI strategy.
In a Jan. 28 memorandum, senior leaders, including the assistant secretary for research, development, and acquisition and the chief information officer, directed all commands to transition to GenAI.mil by April 30.
Launched in December, GenAI.mil provides a secure, unified AI environment with chat functionality, document uploads, retrieval-augmented generation, and persistent chat histories. While certified for IL5 and CUI, the platform prohibits the use of protected health and personally identifiable information.
GenAI.mil initially featured Google’s Gemini for Government and xAI for Government tools. Earlier this month, OpenAI’s ChatGPT was integrated to broaden large-language-model access.
Recently, the Department of the Air Force has formally adopted the Pentagon’s GenAI.mil as the enterprise generative artificial intelligence platform for both the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Space Force.
