The head of OpenAI’s hardware team, Caitlin Kalinowski, resigned over the weekend. In posts on social media, Kalinowski said she was concerned about OpenAI’s recent agreement with the Department of Defense. 

The agreement would make OpenAI’s generative AI systems available inside secure Defense Department computing systems. 

“I resigned from OpenAI. I care deeply about the robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn’t an easy call,” Kalinsowski wrote on X.
