OpenAI provides artificial intelligence capabilities for the US military. The Pentagon has tapped OpenAI to deploy its advanced AI models across secure, classified military networks and decision-support systems. These systems are frequently integrated with Project Maven—the Defense Department’s flagship AI and intelligence-analysis program.

OpenAI's defense agreement explicitly restricts its AI from being used for controlling deadly, autonomous weapons, unconstrained domestic spying, or high-stakes automated lethal decisions. OpenAI is one of several tech companies (including Palantir, Google and xAI) contracted to supply "frontier AI" to build an AI-first fighting force.

Under Project Maven our US Military is now an AI military force. To learn more, this book is highly recommended.
