OpenAI Amends A.I. Deal With the Pentagon
OpenAI has revised its agreement with the Pentagon, adding safeguards to curb the potential use of its AI technology for mass surveillance on Americans. The updated pact strengthens compliance measures and limits on how the company’s tools can be deployed in national security and defense contexts.
The amended deal emphasizes privacy protections and aims to prevent misuse while continuing collaboration on defense-oriented AI capabilities. Officials say the changes reflect a commitment to responsible deployment in federal programs.
Details on the specific safeguards and how they will be enforced were not disclosed, but the update signals a tightening of oversight and governance around dual-use AI technologies in government contracting.
