OpenAI announced a significant contract with the U.S. Department of Defense worth up to $200 million. The aim is to develop prototype AI systems that assist with administrative tasks, like healthcare and data management, while also supporting proactive cyber defense. Although OpenAI's usage policies forbid the development of weapons, it previously removed explicit references to military applications in its terms, raising questions about its role in potential war-related technology. The situation underscores both the urgency of national security AI and tensions between OpenAI and its investor Microsoft.
