OpenAI Quietly Deletes Ban on Using ChatGPT for “Military and Warfare”
The Pentagon has its eye on the leading AI company, which this week softened its ban on military use.

Capitalism gotta capital. AI has the potential to be revolutionary for humanity, but because of the way the world works it’s going to end up being a nightmare. There is no future under capitalism.
Here we go…..
Finally, I can have it generate a picture of a flamethrower without it lecturing me like I'm a child making finger guns at school.
Literally no one is reading the article.
The terms still prohibit use to cause harm.
The change is that a general ban on military use has been removed in favor of a generalized ban on harm.
So for example, the Army could use it to do their accounting, but not to generate a disinformation campaign against a hostile nation.
If anyone actually really read the article, we could have a productive conversation around whether any military usage is truly harmless, the nuances of the usefulness of a military ban in a world where so much military labor is outsourced to private corporations which could 'launder' terms compliance, or the general inability of terms to preemptively prevent harmful use at all.
Instead, we have people taking the headline only and discussing AI being put in charge of nukes.
Lemmy seems to care a lot more about debating straw men arguments about how terrible AI is than engaging with reality.
sigh
This is the best summary I could come up with:
OpenAI this week quietly deleted language expressly prohibiting the use of its technology for military purposes from its usage policy, which seeks to dictate how powerful and immensely popular tools like ChatGPT can be used.
“We aimed to create a set of universal principles that are both easy to remember and apply, especially as our tools are now globally used by everyday users who can now also build GPTs,” OpenAI spokesperson Niko Felix said in an email to The Intercept.
Suchman and Myers West both pointed to OpenAI’s close partnership with Microsoft, a major defense contractor, which has invested $13 billion in the LLM maker to date and resells the company’s software tools.
The changes come as militaries around the world are eager to incorporate machine learning techniques to gain an advantage; the Pentagon is still tentatively exploring how it might use ChatGPT or other large-language models, a type of software tool that can rapidly and dextrously generate sophisticated text outputs.
While some within U.S. military leadership have expressed concern about the tendency of LLMs to insert glaring factual errors or other distortions, as well as security risks that might come with using ChatGPT to analyze classified or otherwise sensitive data, the Pentagon remains generally eager to adopt artificial intelligence tools.
Last year, Kimberly Sablon, the Pentagon’s principal director for trusted AI and autonomy, told a conference in Hawaii that “[t]here’s a lot of good there in terms of how we can utilize large-language models like [ChatGPT] to disrupt critical functions across the department.”
The original article contains 1,196 words, the summary contains 254 words. Saved 79%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I'm honestly kind of shocked at this. I know for our annual evaluations this year, people were using ChatGPT to write their statements.
I thought for sure someone with a secret squirrel type job was going to use it for that innocuous purpose, end up inputting top secret information, and then the DoD would ban the practice completely.
Yeah ,I heard the same news on 오픈 AI , chatgpt and Chat GPT Nederlands. AI is the need of everyone these days

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.
Honestly, we’re only mildly surprised it took this long. They probably decided we’d notice eventually, so why not.
This obviously means it’s no longer strategic to pretend they’re not doing it, which also means it’s so widely used that we missed the point AI became a dystopia by a lot.
It's interesting to note OpenAI's decision regarding the ban on using ChatGPT for "Military and Warfare" applications. For more updates and insights on AI developments, visit ChatGPT.
