ChatGPT firm OpenAI has partnered with US-based defense startup Anduril, co-founded by Palmer Lucky, to develop an AI model that can detect aerial threats like unmanned drones.

OpenAI has inked a deal with Anduril Industries, a US-based defense startup co-founded by Palmer Lucky, to develop an AI model that can be deployed on national security missions. It will be used to detect threats from aerial devices like unmanned drones. 

The model will be based on "Anduril's high-performance defense systems and Lattice software platform," and will focus on the US counter-unmanned aircraft systems (CUAS) and improving their ability to "detect, assess and respond to potentially lethal aerial threats in real-time."

The two companies want to leverage AI to "rapidly synthesize time-sensitive data, reduce the burden on human operators and improve situational awareness." Anduril's library of CUAS threats and operations will be used for training. 

The press release doesn't shy away from mentioning the imminent threat from China, stating, "If the United States cedes ground," it risks "losing the technological edge" and being "outpaced by adversaries." 

China has repeatedly found ways to bypass US restrictions and even built an AI model based on Meta's Llama for military use.
