At present, the U.S. military has a new trend in military technology, that is, it is accelerating its collusion with U.S. technology giants to promote the militarization of generative AI.
According to the American investigative news **The Intercept**, OpenAI has made significant changes to its policy page without a public announcement. Previously, OpenAI said it "prohibits the use of its large language models for any military or war-related applications." After the revision, it is stated that "OpenAI's products cannot be used to harm oneself or others, including harm caused through the research and development of **". The broad rhetoric has heightened concerns about the acceleration of deep cooperation between U.S. tech giants and the U.S. military.
At the same time, according to a report by Semafor** in the United States, OpenAI recently revealed that OpenAI is working with the Pentagon on software projects, and in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense, OpenAI is committed to jointly developing open-source cybersecurity software tools.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg when the U.S. defense and military spheres are tightly integrated with generative AI. The Pentagon has created a specialized unit to analyze how generative AI is being used in the defense sector. It is reported that Microsoft plans to open access to the GPT-4 large model to the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA and other institutions. In fact, these movements are not worth making a fuss about, and any technology is ultimately at the service of the state. The development of artificial intelligence technology to this day, being used in military and warfare, as a research team of any country, is one of the inevitable results, and it is a natural thing.
OpenAI began to abandon the so-called neutral and public welfare position when it was founded, gradually showed its real fangs, and began to closely collude with the US military. This needs to arouse our sufficient attention and vigilance, that is, in the development of artificial intelligence, we must increase investment, catch up, and absolutely not lag behind.
