BlockBeats News, March 8th, according to 1M AI News, Kaitlyn Kalinovsky, who has been leading OpenAI’s Robotics Division since November 2024, has resigned due to concerns over the company’s military negotiations. She stated, “This was not an easy decision. Artificial Intelligence plays a crucial role in national security, but unchecked American surveillance, unconsented lethal autonomous weapons, these are lines that should have been discussed more carefully. This is about principles, not individuals.” Her resignation comes amid escalating controversy: AI companies are increasingly divided on the issue of supporting the US military’s use of the technology.
Recently, negotiations between the US Department of Defense and Anthropic collapsed after the latter demanded strict limits on domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons. Shortly thereafter, OpenAI reached an agreement with the US Department of Defense to deploy its models on a classified government network.
