US EditionOpenAI strikes deal with Pentagon, hours after rival Anthropic was blacklisted by Trump
OpenAI secured DoD agreement on AI safety safeguards, including bans on mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, amidst Pentagon moves labeling Anthropic a national security risk.
- On Friday, Sam Altman, chief executive officer of OpenAI Inc., announced, `Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.`
- After weeks of negotiation, Anthropic was excluded because it sought limits on autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, while the Pentagon demanded broader use, leading to the collapse of talks.
- OpenAI said it will provide technical safeguards and personnel, and the Pentagon agrees to include the two core safety principles in law and policy, as reflected in the agreement.
- Altman's post arrived after a turbulent week for the AI sector; it's unclear why the Pentagon accommodated OpenAI but not Anthropic, which said it was "deeply saddened" and intends to challenge the move.
- OpenAI urged the Pentagon to offer the same terms to all AI companies and expressed a strong desire to de-escalate legal actions toward reasonable agreements.
