Debate across the AI sector intensified after OpenAI announced an agreement allowing its technology to be used in classified environments with the United States Department of Defense. The move came shortly after negotiations between the Pentagon and Anthropic reportedly collapsed over safeguards aimed at preventing mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons.

The controversy has sparked noticeable shifts in user behavior. Data shows a surge in uninstalls of ChatGPT while rival AI assistant Claude climbed to the top of the U.S. App Store rankings. Despite the backlash, OpenAI says the partnership includes strict technical safeguards designed to prevent both domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons deployment.
