Officially, OpenAI is at the heart of the US Department of Defense
OpenAI has signed an official agreement with the US Department of Defense to deploy advanced AI models within the military's classified cloud networks.
In a strategic development reshaping the relationship between the high-tech sector and the US military, OpenAI has officially announced an agreement with the Pentagon to deploy advanced AI models within the military's classified cloud networks. This partnership, disclosed by OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman on social media, comes in the wake of intensified negotiations spurred by a diplomatic and technical crisis involving the US government and another AI company, Anthropic. The deal was announced shortly after President Biden issued an executive order prohibiting federal agencies from using Anthropic's technologies, classifying them as a 'supply chain risk' due to the company’s refusal to comply with government-mandated conditions for unrestricted access to models in military operations.
