Insider: OpenAI may sign an AI deployment contract with NATO

PANews March 4 News, according to Reuters, citing sources familiar with the matter, OpenAI is considering signing a contract with NATO to deploy AI technology on its “non-classified” networks. This comes after the company recently reached an agreement with the Pentagon to provide models for the U.S. Department of Defense’s classified networks. The report states that Sam Altman mentioned “all NATO classified networks” in an internal meeting, but a spokesperson later clarified it as “non-classified networks.” OpenAI’s updated statement says its systems are not to be “intentionally used for domestic surveillance of U.S. citizens,” and the Pentagon confirmed it will not provide related services to intelligence agencies like the NSA. Anthropic was removed from relevant collaborations by the U.S. government for refusing to provide technology for large-scale domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons.
