Anduril will lean on OpenAI’s technology to better detect and respond to unmanned “aerial threats,” largely drones, which have become a central part of modern warfare, the two companies said Wednesday. OpenAI will also use Anduril data to train its software for these defense systems.
In recent months, OpenAI has been seeking to expand its partnerships with the US government around national security, saying that it wants to support the public sector in adopting AI that upholds democratic values.
OpenAI partnered with the US Air Force Research Laboratory to adopt its ChatGPT enterprise tools for administrative uses. The company also hired a former top Pentagon official to lead its national security policy team and added the former head of the National Security Agency to its board.
“Our partnership with Anduril will help ensure OpenAI technology protects US military personnel, and will help the national security community understand and responsibly use this technology to keep our citizens safe and free,” Sam Altman, OpenAI’s chief executive officer, said in a statement.
