US Department of Defense reportedly sought specialized OpenAI model with minimal refusal rates

Documents obtained by The Intercept suggest the US Department of Defense requested a customized version of OpenAI's AI with minimal refusal rates for military instructions. While the Pentagon and OpenAI deny that such terms were included in the final executed contracts, the agreement allows for deployment on classified military networks. OpenAI maintains that it has established red lines against autonomous lethal use and surveillance of US citizens, though the contract permits any use deemed legal by the government.
