Top AI firm teams up with defense tech company for Pentagon projects

In a ground-breaking move this winter‚ OpenAI and Anduril Industries announced their co-operation on military AI projects; the partnership aims to boost Pentagonʼs tech capabilities

The joint-venture combines OpenAIs cutting-edge artificial intelligence (which powers tools like ChatGPT) with Andurils military-grade equipment including hi-tech drones and detection systems. Both companies made this public through a co-signed statement but kept their financial arrangements under wraps

The team-up shows how big tech firms are getting more involved in defense projects — a shift from past attitudes. This collaboration brings together Andurils defense-focused hardware expertise and OpenAIs position as an industry-leading AI developer to create next-gen military solutions
