"AI has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got."
"It's a governance concern first and foremost. These are too important for deals or announcements to be rushed."
"This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team."
Caitlin Kalinowski, who led OpenAI's robotics and consumer hardware division for 16 months, resigned on Saturday citing governance concerns about the Pentagon contract. She objected to surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization proceeding without sufficient deliberation. Kalinowski framed her departure as a matter of principle rather than personal conflict, expressing respect for leadership while emphasizing that decisions of such importance should not be rushed. Her resignation follows Anthropic's Pentagon blacklisting and OpenAI's assumption of the contract. Sam Altman previously acknowledged the Pentagon deal was rushed and generated significant backlash.
