OpenAI's Head of Robotics Resigns Over Pentagon Deal. Says "Guardrails" Were Never Defined Before Announcement.

Caitlin Kalinowski, OpenAI's head of robotics and consumer hardware, quit after the company agreed to deploy AI models on the Pentagon's classified cloud networks. Her words: "Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got." She said the deal was announced "without the guardrails defined." OpenAI's own people are walking out because nobody built the oversight framework first.
