[Head of OpenAI Robotics Department Resigns Over Concerns About Surveillance and Autonomous Weapons] According to a report by Jinse Finance, Caitlin Kalinowski, who has led OpenAI's robotics department since November 2024, has resigned due to concerns over the company's military negotiations. She stated: 'This was not an easy decision. Artificial intelligence plays a critical role in national security, but issues such as warrantless surveillance of Americans and lethal autonomous weapons without human authorization are red lines that should have been discussed more cautiously. This is about principles, not individuals.' Her resignation comes amid escalating controversy: AI companies are increasingly divided over the boundaries of supporting the U.S. military's use of such technologies. Recently, negotiations between the U.S. Department of Defense and Anthropic broke down after the latter demanded strict limitations on domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons. Shortly thereafter, OpenAI reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense to deploy its models on a classified government network. (Zhitong Finance)
