The US Department of Defense has entered into a contract with OpenAI for an innovative project dubbed "frontier AI," awarding up to $200 million. This pilot program seeks to address critical national security challenges, with an initial $2 million provided to OpenAI. The partnership aims to prototype solutions enhancing administrative functions within the DoD while aligning with OpenAI's policies against the development of military weapons. The occurrence comes as OpenAI advocates for increased government collaboration, emphasizing its focus on healthcare and cybersecurity rather than direct military applications.
OpenAI will develop prototype frontier AI capabilities for the US Department of Defense to enhance national security in both warfighting and enterprise domains.
While the contract signifies a partnership with the DoD, OpenAI's usage policies restrict the application of its technology for military weapons.
