OpenAI’s Pentagon Pact Faces Skepticism Over Surveillance Safeguards

The Intercept questions OpenAI’s claim that a new Pentagon contract bars domestic mass surveillance and the use of AI for autonomous weapons, noting the contract language hasn’t been released and experts doubt the safeguards will actually prevent NSA or other surveillance. Critics warn vague terms like “intentionally” and “deliberate” could still enable dragnet data collection, calling for full contract disclosure and greater scrutiny of OpenAI’s statements and affiliations in the deal.
