OpenAI inks deal to upgrade Anduril’s anti-drone tech
By: technology Posted On: December 04, 2024 View:

OpenAI plans to team up with Anduril, the defense startup, to supply its AI tech to systems the U.S. military uses to counter drone attacks.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Anduril will incorporate OpenAI tech into software that assesses and tracks unmanned aircraft. Anduril tells the publication that OpenAI’s models could improve the accuracy and speed of responding to drones, reducing collateral damage.

OpenAI’s technology won’t be used with Anduril’s other weapons systems as a part of the deal, the companies said. 

As The WSJ notes, the OpenAI-Anduril tie-up is just the latest example of a major tech company embracing rather than shunning the defense sector. OpenAI previously barred its AI from being used in warfare, but revised that policy in January, and shortly thereafter inked deals with the Pentagon for cybersecurity work and other projects.

OpenAI has also sought to bring defense leaders into its executive ranks, including former ex-Defense Department official Sasha Baker and NSA chief Paul Nakasone, who sits on OpenAI’s board.
