OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that elected government officials, not private companies like OpenAI, should determine how AI is used in military applications. This position was shared on Hacker News, where Altman emphasized the need for democratic oversight over powerful technologies. The stance creates a clear separation between OpenAI's commercial AI tools and national security decisions, pushing responsibility to policymakers.
