OpenAI has agreed to deploy its own artificial intelligence models within the Defense Department’s classified network after rival Anthropic PBC saw its relationship with the Pentagon implode over surveillance and autonomous weapons concerns. OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said late Friday that he’d reached an agreement with the department that reflects the firm’s principles on prohibiting “domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems.” The startup also built safeguards to ensure its models behave as they should as part of the deployment, Altman said in a post on the social media platform X. OpenAI declined to comment on whether the firm’s services for the department would replace the work previously done by Anthropic. The Defense Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment late Friday night. Just hours earlier, the Pentagon declared Anthropic a supply-chain risk, a move that could have profound consequences for the company’s business and escalated a feud between the artificial intelligence startup and defense officials over safeguards on its technology. In a post on X, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth outlined a six-month period for Anthropic to hand over AI services to another provider. “America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech,” Hegseth wrote. “This decision is final.” His post appeared shortly after President Donald Trump wrote on social media that he was ordering federal agencies to drop Anthropic. Anthropic, which has stipulated that its products not be used for surveillance of Americans or to carry out strikes without human involvement, said on Friday that “no amount of intimidation or punishment from the Department of War will change our position on mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons.” The Pentagon offered terms to Anthropic earlier this week that incorporated some language that the company had prop...
