Which defense contractor did they just sign with to sell AI features?

Really if a company wants people to trust claims like this, they should make them legally binding. Otherwise it's all PR.

I'm gonna presume "the new leadership of the FBI".

Google is already a "defense" (military) contractor. They sell stuff directly to governments, well aware how it'll be used.
