U.S.-based AI company OpenAI, known for developing ChatGPT, has signed its first public contract with the U.S. Department of Defense worth $200 million. The agreement involves creating and delivering artificial intelligence products for national security and defense-related planning.

According to the contract terms, OpenAI will develop AI-based software prototypes tailored for Pentagon needs. These solutions will be used in data analysis, threat forecasting, decision-making automation, and enhancing operational planning efficiency. The agreement also includes pilot projects and testing of algorithms under conditions simulating real-world defense operations.

The contract marks a major milestone for OpenAI, which previously maintained limited collaboration with military entities. This agreement broadens OpenAI’s partnership scope and strengthens its role in the U.S. government tech ecosystem. The company is expected to provide access to specialized AI modules, with potential for further adaptation to various defense department divisions.

Defense officials emphasized the goal is to boost technological sovereignty, enhance analytical capabilities, and adapt cutting-edge civilian innovations for national applications. All development will adhere to transparency standards and ethical AI guidelines.

The agreement is part of the Pentagon’s broader IT modernization and digital defense transformation strategy. In recent years, the Defense Department has heavily invested in machine learning, neural networks, and automation to improve military, intelligence, and analytical operations.

OpenAI, best known for GPT and DALL·E models, has primarily worked with the private sector and educational institutions. This new deal signals a strategic shift, showing the company’s commitment to shaping the future of national tech security in the United States.
