Title: Sam Altman Says OpenAI Shares Anthropic's Red Lines in Pentagon Fight

Link: https://slashdot.org/story/26/02/27/1530218/s...

An anonymous reader shares a report: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote in a memo to
staff that he will draw the same red lines that sparked a high-stakes fight
between rival Anthropic and the Pentagon: no AI for mass surveillance or
autonomous lethal weapons. If other leading firms like Google follow suit,
this could massively complicate the Pentagon's efforts to replace Anthropic's
Claude, which was the first model integrated into the military's most
sensitive work. It would also be the first time the nation's top AI leaders
have taken a collective stand about how the U.S. government can and can't use
their technology. Altman made clear he still wants to strike a deal with the
Pentagon that would allow ChatGPT to be used for sensitive military contexts.
Despite the show of solidarity, such a deal could see OpenAI replace
Anthropic if the Pentagon follows through with its plan to declare the latter
a "supply chain risk."
