This US Military Branch Just Trademarked AI Use, What It Could Mean

You've probably heard of ChatGPT but have never heard of NavyGPT.

The term, recently trademarked by the U.S. Navy, could come into play soon as the U.S. military continues to explore use cases for artificial intelligence (AI).

What Happened: Trademark attorney Josh Gerben of Gerben Law highlighted the trademark filing, which came about on March 26.

According to the trademark filing, NavyGPT can be used for: "Downloadable computer software using generative artificial intelligence, large language models and machine learning for general text generation, software code generation, information retrieval, translation of different languages, text summarization, editing, proofreading, creativity, and contextual understanding," the trademark filing reads.

Why It's Important: NavyGPT is the latest AI initiative for the Navy, which is just one of several military branches to partner with data and AI company Palantir Technologies PLTR.

According to Palantir's website, the U.S. Navy leverages data to help power operations.

"Palantir provides configurable solutions to confront the most complex naval challenges. From streamlining sustainment to supporting distributed maritime operations with capabilities at the edge, Palantir is committed to partnering with the U.S. navy to defend American interests at sea," the company says.

The increased use of data and AI by the Navy could highlight how the military sector is set to benefit from technology advancements.

While the NavyGPT trademark is not directly related to Palantir, it could signal the increased opportunity Palantir has at providing AI solutions for company and military branches.
