OpenAI signed a $200 million contract with the US Department of Defense.

OpenAI has secured a $200 million pilot project contract that will help the US Department of Defense determine how to apply artificial intelligence to a range of administrative and security tasks. The Department of Defense disclosed the one-year contract on Monday, marking the latest effort by OpenAI to sell its technology to the US government. In a blog post on Monday, OpenAI wrote that the contract is the first project carried out by the company's new entity called OpenAI for Government. OpenAI will collaborate with the Department of Defense to propose ways in which AI can help with administrative tasks, such as accessing healthcare services for US soldiers and assisting in cyber defense.
