Today, OpenAI is announcing that its technology will be deployed directly on the battlefield. The company says it will partner with the defense-tech company Anduril, a maker of AI-powered drones, radar systems, and missiles, to help US and allied forces defend against drone attacks. OpenAI will help build AI models that "rapidly synthesize time-sensitive data, reduce the burden on human operators, and improve situational awareness" to take down enemy drones, according to the announcement. Specifics have not been released, but the program will be narrowly focused on defending US personnel and facilities from unmanned aerial threats, according to Liz Bourgeois, an OpenAI spokesperson. "This partnership is consistent with our policies and does not involve leveraging our technology to develop systems designed to harm others," she said.
