PANews reported on March 4th, citing Reuters and sources, that OpenAI is considering a contract with NATO to deploy AI technology on its "unclassified" networks. This comes shortly after the company reached an agreement with the Pentagon to provide models to classified U.S. Department of Defense networks. The report stated that Sam Altman mentioned "all classified NATO networks" in an internal meeting, but a spokesperson later clarified that it referred to "unclassified networks." OpenAI updated its statement, stating that its systems must not be "intentionally used for domestic surveillance of U.S. citizens," and that the Pentagon confirmed it would not provide related services to intelligence agencies such as the NSA. Anthropic was removed from related collaborations by the U.S. government for refusing to provide technology for mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons.
