The US Department of Defense has signed a $200 million annual contract with OpenAI, under which the company will develop prototypes of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to solve critical national security tasks. The work will primarily be carried out in the Washington, D.C. area, with an estimated completion date of July 2026.
This contract became the first OpenAI project within the framework of the new OpenAI for Government initiative, which unites all the company's government projects, including the ChatGPT version for civil servants — ChatGPT Gov, as well as cooperation with NASA, the National Institutes of Health, the US Air Force Research Laboratory and the Ministry of Finance. The aim of the initiative is to transform the administrative operations of departments using advanced AI technologies.
In December 2024, OpenAI announced a partnership with defense startup Anduril Industries aimed at creating AI systems to protect against drones. This cooperation complements the contract with the Department of Defense and demonstrates the expansion of OpenAI's role in the US defense sector.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, emphasized that the company strives to create technologies that support democratic values and ensure the safety of citizens, while helping the armed forces and national security.
