While OpenAI has softened its stance on military use, it still maintains a ban on AI applications for weapons development.
In a significant policy shift, OpenAI, spearheaded by Sam Altman, has opened the door to applications of its AI technologies for military and warfare purposes. The alteration involves the removal of language explicitly prohibiting the deployment of OpenAI’s technology for military uses from its usage policy
OpenAI justified the revision by aiming to establish a set of universal principles that are easy to remember and apply. A company spokesperson told Business Today, “Our policy does not allow our tools to be used to harm people, develop weapons, for communications surveillance, or to injure others or destroy property. There are, however, national security use cases that align with our mission.”
