OpenAI and Google employees are pushing back against Pentagon pressure for broader military access to AI models.

By Leo Marchandon March 11 - French media group Canal+ on Wednesday unveiled multi-year agreements with Alphabet's Google Cloud and OpenAI to integrate generative artificial intelligence into its production workflows and streaming service.

Before working on OpenAI's Codex, Michael Bolin was at Meta and Google. He said he's learned a thing or two about making an impact in Big Tech.

When asked about any further steps the company is taking to prevent AI-enabled abuse, Google pointed CNET to its generative AI prohibited use policy. Google's policy, like many other tech companies' fine print, outlaws using AI for illegal or potentially abusive activities, such as creating intimate imagery.

Katy Shi, a researcher who works on Codex's behavior at OpenAI, says that while some folks describe its default personality as “dry bread,” many have come to appreciate its less sycophantic style. “A lot of engineering work is about being able to take critical feedback without interpreting it as mean,” Shi says.
