OpenAI now allows ChatGPT to be used for Military Warfare

OpenAI made a pretty significant announcement last week. OpenAI announced that it will now allow ChatGPT to be used in military and warfare purposes. The revised policy does not specifically mention what all tasks ChatGPT will be fulfilling in the military and the warfare filed. However, the company’s revised policy explicitly mentions that ChatGPT won’t be used for developing weapons. OpenAI’s decision has sparked a major concern about the increased risk of military and state actors using ChatGPT for tasks like propaganda, misinformation, or targeting civilians. Military is a highly lucrative industry and it seems that OpenAI does not want to overlook the military industry as it seeks to increase its profitability.

In yet another big setback for the crypto industry, Google is banning the apps of Binance and other crypto apps from its Indian play store. This means that now Indian users can no longer download popular crypto apps from the Google play store. Existing users with downloaded apps may still be able to use them for now, but future updates might not be available. This move could serve a significant blow to the growth of the crypto market in India and discourage potential investors. Indian government argues that crypto apps like Binance are being increasingly used for money laundering purposes and hence ban on them was necessary.
