Officially: Protecting AI and Cloud Competition in Defense Act of 2025
The Defense Department would have to compete more of its AI and cloud contracts and keep tighter control of government data. Vendors could not use that data to train commercial AI products unless the department clearly approves it. The bill also pushes the military away from relying on just one cloud company when possible.
