OpenAI reaches agreement with Pentagon to use AI models

Maria Curi

Sam Altman said late Friday night that his company reached an agreement with the Pentagon to use its AI models, after the Defense Department agreed to its safety red lines that were similar to rival Anthropic's. Why it matters: The Pentagon has blasted Anthropic for days, contending its red lines for AI use in the military — mass surveillance and autonomous weapons — are philosophical and "woke."

Altman's deal with the Pentagon differs from Anthropic's, where there is concern existing law doesn't contemplate AI. "Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems," Altman said."The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement."
