The Pentagon Scrubs a Cloud Deal and Looks to Add More AI

Late in 2019, the Pentagon chose Microsoft for a $10 billion contract called JEDI that aimed to use the cloud to modernize US military computing infrastructure. Tuesday, the agency ripped up that deal. The Pentagon said it will start over with a new contract that will seek technology from both Amazon and Microsoft, and offers better support to data-intensive projects, such as enhancing military decision-making with artificial intelligence.
