"Altman said the Pentagon agreed with his company's principles that OpenAI's technology would not be used for domestic mass surveillance or for autonomous weapon systems, affirming that humans would take responsibility for the use of force."
"Anthropic said it was refusing to remove safeguards that prevented its technology from being used for US domestic mass surveillance and to programme autonomous weapons, which can attack targets without human intervention."
"Human rights advocates have voiced concerns about the unregulated use of AI models by militaries, including the Israeli army in its genocidal war on Gaza. Israeli forces have reportedly used AI systems, including Lavender, The Gospel, and Where's Daddy? to process mass surveillance data and generate lists of Palestinian people to kill."
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a partnership with the US Department of Defense, following Anthropic's refusal to work with the military over ethical concerns. Altman stated that the Pentagon agreed to OpenAI's principles restricting technology use for domestic mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, with humans maintaining responsibility for force deployment. This agreement came after President Trump ordered federal agencies to cease using Anthropic, whose CEO Dario Amodei refused to remove safeguards preventing military misuse. Human rights advocates have raised concerns about unregulated AI military applications, citing examples including Israeli forces' use of AI systems for surveillance and targeting in Gaza.
