The prohibition on utilizing OpenAI's technology for "weapons development" and "military and warfare" has been secretly lifted. The policy page was revised, with the claimed goal of making the paper "clearer" and "more readable".
Afterwards, "added service-specific guidance" has taken the role of the term "clearer".

The Intercept wrote a story saying changes happened, and they started on January 10. According to the study, any "activity that has a high risk of physical harm," such as "weapons development" and "military and warfare," was prohibited from using OpenAI technology.
Though the wording "use our service to harm yourself or others" remains in the new OpenAI policy, the earlier prohibition on utilizing its technology for military and warfare goals is lifted. And the corporation still won't let people use its technology for "weapons development".
The AI startup said in a statement that they won't allow their tools to be used for making weapons, hurting people, spying on communications, damaging property, or other bad things.
TechCrunch got a copy of the statement. Even though they're against some uses, they are working with DARPA to create new cybersecurity technologies. This is to protect open source software that is important for businesses and important infrastructure.

Under our former regulations, it was unclear if these advantageous use scenarios would have been permitted under the term "military." Clarity and the opportunity to conduct these conversations are therefore the goals of our updated policy," the statement continued.
Some smart people are concerned that artificial intelligence might cause issues, especially in war and similar areas. The creation of advanced AI like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard has made these worries even stronger.
Last year, ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt said in an interview with Wired magazine that making AI systems is kind of like when nuclear weapons were first made before World War II.

Schmidt stated,
Every now and again, a new technology or weapon emerges that changes everything. In the 1930s, Einstein claimed in a letter to Roosevelt that the advent of nuclear weapons could transform warfare, and it did. Decentralized, distributed systems and autonomy enabled by artificial intelligence, I would contend, are that potent.
