Sam Altman has effectively handed the keys of his AI empire to the Pentagon, marking a seismic shift in how the world's most powerful code is governed. Internal memos reveal that 'operational decisions' now rest with government officials, moving the lab away from its civilian roots. This transition cements the startup's new role as a primary asset in the American strategic arsenal.
During a company-wide meeting on Tuesday, Sam Altman informed his staff that the organisation no longer has the authority to 'get to make operational decisions' regarding the application of its artificial intelligence by the Department of Defense.
