Pentagon requires AI models with minimal refusal rates for national security
What happened
The Pentagon is actively seeking AI models for national security use cases that have minimal refusal rates. This requirement was part of the agreement between the Pentagon and OpenAI, which embraced a more flexible standard. Anthropic reportedly lost a major government deal after declining the standard, which the Pentagon pushed AI companies to adopt for use in war.
