OpenAI Revises Guidelines to Permit Military Uses

Openai Pattern 03
In an unannounced update to its usage policy, OpenAI has opened the door to military applications of its technologies. While the policy previously prohibited use of its products for the purposes of “military and warfare,” that language has now disappeared, and OpenAI did not deny that it was now open to military uses. Unannounced changes to policy wording happen fairly frequently in tech as the products they govern the use of evolve and change, and OpenAI is clearly no different. It’s a substantive, consequential change of policy, not a restatement of the same policy. Even a strict “no military” policy has to stop after a few removes.
