OpenAI's Policy Change: Allowing Military Use of Technology Sparks Ethical Concerns

OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, recently removed its ban on using its technology for "military and warfare," now only disallowing use that would "bring harm to others." This change will allow OpenAI to work more closely with the military, a move that has caused division within the company. Some experts believe that the military's use of OpenAI's technology would primarily involve administrative and logistics work, leading to cost savings. However, concerns about the potential dangers of AI, particularly in military applications, persist, with calls for safeguards and transparency in AI development for defense. The change in OpenAI's policy has sparked skepticism about the company's ethics and the need for transparency in future defense deals.
