OpenAI announces partnership with the US Department of Defense to replace Claude under Anthropic

BlockBeats News, February 28th, OpenAI Founder Sam Altman announced a partnership agreement with the US Department of Defense: deploying its AI models in a classified network. Throughout all interactions, the Department of Defense has demonstrated a high level of commitment to security and eagerness to collaborate with OpenAI for the best outcomes.

The security and broad beneficial alignment of artificial intelligence are at the core of our mission. OpenAI's two most important security principles are: prohibiting mass surveillance in the United States and holding people responsible for the use of force, including the use of autonomous weapon systems. The Department of Defense acknowledges these principles, which are reflected in law and policy, and we have also included them in the agreement.

OpenAI will also build technical safeguards to ensure the model runs smoothly, as desired by the Department of Defense. Functional Enhancement Devices (FEDs) will be deployed to assist model operations, and to ensure the model's security, it will only be deployed on a cloud network. The Department of Defense has requested that all AI companies be offered the same terms, and all companies should be willing to accept these terms. OpenAI strongly hopes the situation can be de-escalated, avoiding recourse to legal and governmental action, and reaching reasonable agreements. We will continue to do our best to serve all of humanity. The world is a complex, messy, and sometimes even dangerous place.
