This is very obviously an incredibly bad idea. Americans: you need to get legislation in place to stop this. It will backfire spectularly (well, before there's actual AGI and that's a whole other topic). Random shit will happen and noone will know why.
Expanding: What I'm concerned about is that the US military will end up having a black box intellegence service that tells them what targets to prioritize. There will be no way to understand the thinking of why said targets are more important than others and thus no way of critizing the judgement. It's effectively an https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle.
Since the black box (the oracle) is provided by a private company there is also no realistic way of telling if they are manipulating the outputs.
