OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman said on Monday that the ChatGPT-maker is working with the U.S. Department of Defense to make some changes in their agreement.
“We have been working with the DoW (Department of War) to make some additions in our agreement to make our principles very clear,” Altman said in a post on X.
Altman said one of the additions to the deal states that the Pentagon has affirmed OpenAI services will not be used by Department of War intelligence agencies (for example, the NSA). Any services to those agencies would require a follow-on modification to our contract.
Last week, the AI firm announced a deal to deploy technology in the Defense Department’s classified network.

Escalating cross-border strikes between Pakistan and Afghanistan expose a widening political, military, and societal divide between Islamabad and Kabul, despite earlier attempts at dialogue and de-escalation. Disputes over the handling of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, rising militant activities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Pakistan’s shift to a military approach deepen mistrust between the establishment and the Taliban leadership.

U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth delivered a defence of Washington’s military operation in Iran, calling it a “clear, devastating, decisive mission” aimed at destroying missile threats and preventing nuclear weapons. He accused Tehran of buying time to restart its nuclear ambitions and warned that any threat to Americans would be met without hesitation. The remarks come amid escalating tensions following U.S. strikes and widening conflict across West Asia.
