OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has now admitted that the company’s decision to get into a deal with Pentagon was ‘rushed’ but insisted it was necessary to de-e.

By CEO Sam Altman’s own admission, OpenAI’s deal with the Department of Defense was “definitely rushed,” and “the optics don’t look good.”

Critics are worried OpenAI's technology will be used for mass surveillance and fully autonomous military strikes.

Three more US cabinet-level agencies have switched to OpenAI after a White House directive ordered the phase-out of Anthropic’s AI tools, expanding a federal shift that began with the Pentagon and reshaping the government’s approach to artificial intelligence partnerships.

OpenAI secured a Pentagon deal, sparking backlash and shifting some users' loyalties to Anthropic's rival Claude chatbot.

OpenAI's Sam Altman says he shares the "red lines" set by rival Anthropic restricting how the military uses AI models, amid Anthropic's escalating feud with the Pentagon.
