“A strategic pause on the use of Generative AI and Large Language Models within the US Space Force has been implemented as we determine the best path forward to integrate these capability into Guardians’ roles and the USSF mission. This is a temporary measure to protect the data of our service and Guardians," Downsworth said in a statement.
Earlier on Wednesday, an American news agency reported, citing a September 29 staff memorandum from Space Force’s chief technology and innovation officer Lisa Costa, that the use of any government data with such tools was not authorized, unless specifically approved.
