OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has stated that the initial agreement struck with the Defense Department was a rush job and that it shouldn't have rushed to release the deal. This has led to a backlash against the company and its competitors, ChatGPT, and increased interest in Anthropic and its competing AI models. Altman also commented on changes to the contract that specifically prohibit the use of these models for surveillance of U.S. citizens. The company's decision to rush the deal with the Pentagon has raised questions about what else OpenAI may have done, including what else it may have handled. The issue of this type of deal has raised concerns about trust in AI providers and the military.
