OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has admitted that a recent deal with the Pentagon was opportunistic and sloppy, leading to immediate revisions to the agreement. The new changes explicitly ban the use of OpenAI technology for spying on Americans and require specific contract modifications before intelligence agencies like the NSA can use the system. This pivot follows a massive backlash, with ChatGPT uninstalls surging by 200% as users protest the military partnership.The controversy began after rival company Anthropic was blacklisted by the Trump administration for refusing to allow its AI, Claude, to be used in fully autonomous weapons. While OpenAI stepped in to fill the gap, experts warn that removing "safety-conscious" actors like Anthropic from government rooms is dangerous. Despite being blacklisted, reports indicate Claude is still being used in the ongoing U.S.-Israel war with Iran via third-party platforms like Palantir, which integrate AI to help military leaders make "more lethal decisions."
