OpenAI Considering NATO Contract for Unclassified Networks

Av Joachim Høgby

OpenAI is exploring a deal to deploy its artificial intelligence technology on NATO's unclassified networks, Reuters reports, citing a person familiar with the matter.

The development comes just days after ChatGPT's maker struck a controversial deal with the US Pentagon that sparked internal backlash from its own employees. The new NATO discussion signals that OpenAI is actively pursuing defense and security customers on a broad front.

According to sources, the technology would initially handle administrative tasks such as text summarization, information extraction, and back-office operations. This is not about combat support or autonomous decision-making systems.

The pattern is clear: after Google DeepMind secured a Pentagon contract to deploy AI agents on unclassified networks, competition for NATO and defense clients is rapidly escalating. OpenAI wants its share of the growing market for defense-adjacent AI.

For enterprises, this signals increased legitimization of AI in critical infrastructure, but also a deeper move into government and military use cases, with the accompanying regulatory and ethical questions.

Neither party has officially commented to the press.
