OpenAI Executive Resigns Over Pentagon Deal

Caitlin Kalinowski, OpenAI's head of robotics who joined from Meta in 2024, said Saturday she is resigning over the company's new Pentagon deal. She criticized the agreement allowing the Department of Defense to use OpenAI products, citing risks of American surveillance without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization. The departure underscores internal ethical concerns and could intensify scrutiny of defense partnerships.
