OpenAI is going through a great moment at the business level, and not only because of its ambitious project in the field of Artificial Intelligence, but also because it is currently collaborating with the Pentagon, that is, with one of the most protected departments in the United States, to improve their cybersecurity systems, an area that, every passing year, requires more advances and progress.
Taking into account that, several days ago, many users were surprised that OpenAI removed from its usage policy the limitations on “military or war reasons”, now it is better explained, if you consider that the Pentagon of the United States is one of the most warlike entities in recent history of humanity.
Collaborating with the Pentagon
As highlighted by Bloomberg recently, OpenAI is currently engaged in several projects with the Pentagon as a client of the company. The company, which claims to continue setting limits and not collaborate in weapon development, would be working on the company’s cybersecurity and discussing initiatives for supporting the mental health of war veterans.
However, OpenAI is not the only company that has or has had collaborations of this kind, as it is also known that Microsoft has carried out projects with them based on the use of Mixed Reality, and companies like Anthropic or Google have also collaborated on cybersecurity projects.
OpenAI in the spotlight
Since early 2023, when OpenAI revolutionized the world of Artificial Intelligence, the company has been at the center of attention in the technology sector. For better or worse, ChatGPT is causing many changes in the productive fabric of the world. There is a lot of debate surrounding it, and it is logical considering the enormous impact that this type of Artificial Intelligence can have socially.
However, oblivious to criticism and praise, OpenAI has continued to follow the same path, albeit with some ups and downs, such as the dismissal and rehiring of Sam Altman in one of the most confusing weeks in the technology sector in recent years. Therefore, the company, which is also under the wing of Microsoft, will remain in 2024 as one of the main brands to follow, with much anticipation about the next steps the company may take, especially in Artificial Intelligence.
