OpenAI's robotics manager Caitlin Kalinowski has resigned over the company's controversial Pentagon defence contract, secured last month allowing AI technology deployment for war and domestic surveillance purposes. Kalinowski cited concerns over the haste with which OpenAI finalised the military deal. The contract came hours after rival AI company Anthropic refused to agree to unconditional military use of its technology, drawing a sharp ethical contrast between the two leading AI firms. The resignation highlights growing internal dissent within OpenAI over its shifting stance on military applications, raising serious questions about the ethical boundaries of deploying advanced artificial intelligence in warfare and government surveillance operations.
