Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has developed a generative AI model entirely devoid of the internet for the U.S. intelligence agencies, as reported by Bloomberg News. According to a senior executive at the company, it is the first time a major large language model, or LLM, has operated fully divorced from the internet. Most AI models, including ChatGPT from OpenAI, rely on cloud services to learn and infer patterns from data. However, Microsoft wanted to provide a truly secure system to the U.S. intelligence agencies. Microsoft's chief technology officer for strategic missions and technology, William Chappell, stated that the GPT4-based model and its vital supporting elements have been deployed onto a cloud with an "air-gapped" environment that is isolated from the internet. The U.S. tech giant spent the last 18 months working on its system, including overhauling an existing AI supercomputer in Iowa. The GPT4 model placed in the cloud is static, meaning the AI model can read files but not learn from them or from the open internet. Theoretically, about 10,000 people would be able to access the AI, according to Chappell. The service had gone live last Thursday and would need to be subjected to testing and accreditation by the intelligence agencies, the report added.
