"Consistent with applicable laws, including the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, National Security Act of 1947, FISA Act of 1978, the AI system shall not be intentionally used for domestic surveillance of US persons and nationals."
"The Department also affirmed that our services will not be used by Department of War intelligence agencies (for example, the NSA). Any services to those agencies would require a follow-on modification to our contract."
"The issues are super complex, and demand clear communication. We were genuinely trying to de-escalate things and avoid a much worse outcome."
OpenAI revised its Pentagon contract after facing public concerns about potential misuse of its AI for mass surveillance. CEO Sam Altman posted an internal memo clarifying that the company added contractual language prohibiting intentional domestic surveillance of US persons and nationals, consistent with the Fourth Amendment and relevant federal laws. The Department of Defense affirmed that OpenAI's services will not be used by military intelligence agencies like the NSA without a separate contract modification. Altman acknowledged the company rushed the initial deal and recognized the complexity of the issues involved, emphasizing the need for clearer communication.
