The company behind ChatGPT is updating its partnership with the Pentagon to establish clearer boundaries on how its artificial intelligence technology can be used, CEO Sam Altman announced Monday.
Altman revealed on social media platform X that OpenAI is collaborating with the Department of Defense to incorporate new provisions into their existing contract that will better define the company’s operating principles.
“We have been working with the DoW (Department of War) to make some additions in our agreement to make our principles very clear,” Altman stated in his online post.
According to Altman, a key modification ensures that intelligence agencies such as the National Security Agency will be prohibited from accessing OpenAI’s services under the current arrangement. He explained that any future work with these agencies would necessitate separate contract adjustments.
The announcement follows last week’s revelation that the artificial intelligence company had struck a deal to implement its technology within the Defense Department’s secure, classified computer systems.
