OpenAI Robotics Lead Resigns Over Pentagon AI Deal

[cryptoenthusiast]

Caitlin Kalinowski has stepped down from her role leading robotics at OpenAI following the company’s controversial agreement with the United States Department of Defense. In a public statement, Kalinowski said the decision was based on principle, citing concerns about potential surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and the development of lethal autonomous systems without clear human authorization.

Kalinowski, who previously led augmented reality glasses development at Meta Platforms, emphasized that her resignation was not directed at the people within the company. She expressed respect for OpenAI leadership, including CEO Sam Altman, but argued that decisions involving national security and AI governance require stronger guardrails and more careful deliberation.

Will not change anything. But good statement.
