The US Army has reinstated limits on employees' use of generative artificial intelligence just weeks after an 'unlimited' access programme burned through its shared token pool, according to an internal Army email, highlighting how quickly large-scale AI adoption can outstrip available computing resources.
The email said the Army Chief Information Officer's token pool was depleted by mid-June, forcing officials to restore limits only weeks after announcing unrestricted access. The move comes as the Pentagon expands the use of AI across the Department of Defense after saying nearly half of its 3.5 million personnel already use generative AI tools.
