"surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got."
"the announcement was rushed without the guardrails defined, adding that it was a governance concern first and foremost."
"We believe our agreement with the Pentagon creates a workable path for responsible national security uses of AI while making clear our red lines: no domestic surveillance and no autonomous weapons."
Caitlin Kalinowski, OpenAI's head of robotics, resigned from her position citing concerns about the company's hastily announced partnership with the Department of Defense. She criticized the lack of guardrails regarding surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomous weapons without human authorization. Kalinowski emphasized this was primarily a governance concern. OpenAI responded by stating it does not support domestic surveillance or autonomous weapons, claiming its Pentagon agreement establishes responsible national security uses of AI with clear red lines. This resignation represents significant fallout from OpenAI's defense partnership, particularly following Anthropic's refusal to lift AI guardrails for similar purposes.
