00:02OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman said Monday the company shouldn't have rushed its recent deal with the
00:08U.S. Department of Defense and outlined revisions to the agreement, according to CNBC. Altman
00:13reposted an internal memo on X stating the contract will include language clarifying that
00:18the AI system shall not be intentionally used for domestic surveillance of U.S. persons and
00:23nationals. Altman admitted he made a mistake by rushing the deal on Friday and said the effort
00:28to de-escalate tensions instead appeared opportunistic and sloppy.
00:32The memo said the department understands limits prohibiting deliberate tracking or monitoring,
00:37including through commercially acquired personal data.
