OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, however, disagreed with the notion that all training data is valuable, stating that the company does not want to train on data from sources like the New York Times. Instead, OpenAI focuses on training with smaller amounts of high-quality data. Altman expressed a desire to work with publishers to attribute news articles to specific publishers. The company also clarified its stance on military applications of its technology, stating that while it has removed language banning such use from its terms of service, it maintains a ban on using its technology to develop weapons or cause harm. OpenAI is currently working with the Pentagon on several projects, including cybersecurity capabilities.
