OpenAI has updated its usage policy, removing a previous restriction against using its technology for "military and warfare."

Previously, OpenAI's terms of service explicitly prohibited the use of its AI tools for "weapons development, military and warfare." The revised policy now prohibits usage that could "harm people, develop weapons, for communications surveillance, or to injure others or destroy property," according to a report from Computer World. This change is intended to clarify the policy and open up discussions about national security use cases that align with OpenAI's missionm including collaborations with DARPA to develop cybersecurity tools.

So, what are the use cases and risks you see on the horizon?
