One signal

Lockheed Martin says it is using 55 large language models across its business, and that OpenAI is working with its F-35 team on complex maths and physics problems tied to advanced sensors. The account comes from a Bloomberg Tech interview with Lockheed executive Sarah Hiza.

Why it matters

The same interview describes AI being applied to areas including autonomous weapons. That is a notable glimpse of AI moving into defence work, but it does not establish that an OpenAI model controls an F-35 or that any system is operational. The useful questions are what the models actually do, how their work is tested, and where human judgement remains in the loop. Should defence AI work face public oversight before it is deployed, or can meaningful scrutiny happen only behind closed doors?
