OpenAI Softens Stance on Military Use of Its AI Technology
OpenAI has revised its usage policy, removing explicit prohibitions on military and warfare applications of its AI tools, such as ChatGPT. The new policy language is now less specific, focusing on preventing harm rather than explicitly banning military usage.
- The change raises questions about OpenAI's approach to enforcement and its stance on assisting military operations indirectly through non-weapon applications.
- The rewrite of the usage policy also indicates a shift towards legal compliance over explicit safety measures, prompting concerns over the potential misuse of AI in military settings, given known issues such as bias and inaccuracy in large language models.
