OpenAI amends Pentagon deal
Digest more
Critics are worried OpenAI's technology will be used for mass surveillance and fully autonomous military strikes.
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.”
OpenAI secures a Pentagon deal to deploy AI on classified systems as the US government bars Anthropic over national security concerns.
OpenAI replaced Anthropic on a Pentagon deal worth up to $200 million, but in doing so, it may have handed its biggest rival a victory by pushing them to the top of the App Store. Anthropic’s Claude climbed to the No.
Altman’s announcement came not long after President Trump “ordered” every federal agency to immediately stop using Anthropic's technology.
