On March 5th, according to the Wall Street Journal, informed sources revealed on Tuesday, local timeOpenAI A contract is being considered for the deployment of its artificial intelligence technology to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)NATOOn the “non-confidential” network. Just a few days ago, the developer of ChatGPT just entered into a cooperation agreement with the United States Department of Defense。
According to reports, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman initially stated at an internal meeting of the company that the company was seeking to deploy technology to all NATO confidential networks, but the spokesperson of the company subsequently clarified to the Wall Street Journal that Altman had made a mistakeThe contract was negotiated only for NATO's “non-confidential network”。
NATO, a military alliance with 32 member States, has not yet responded to requests for evaluation。
According to 1AI, OpenAI is supported by investments from Microsoft, Amazon, etc. Later last week, the company announced an agreement with the United States Department of Defense to deploy technology to its confidential network. Previously, United States President Donald Trump had ordered the government to stop working with OpenAI's competitor Anthropic。
The termination of Anthropic's cooperation with the United States Department of Defense stemmed from the deadlock between the parties over the use of technology in contract negotiations. The CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, has made it clear that the company opposes the use by the United States Department of Defense of its artificial intelligence model for large-scale surveillance within the United States or for support for fully autonomous weapons。
The United States Department of Defense had previously stated that it had no intention of using artificial intelligence for large-scale surveillance of the United States population or of developing weapons that could operate without human intervention, but had argued that artificial intelligence should be allowed for all legitimate uses。
Following an agreement with the Department of Defense last Friday, OpenAI issued an updated statement on Monday, local time, stating that its artificial intelligence system “may not be used intentionally for domestic surveillance of United States citizens and nationals”, adding that the United States Department of Defense had confirmed that the relevant artificial intelligence services would not be used by intelligence agencies such as the United States National Security Agency。
According to the Wall Street Journal, Altman, speaking at the company meeting on Tuesday about his cooperation with the Ministry of Defence, said: “I think this is a complex but correct decision, which in the short term will have a significant negative impact on our brand and will trigger a very negative public relations crisis.”
