March 2 (Reuters) - ⁠OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman ⁠said on Monday that the ‌ChatGPT-maker is working with the U.S. Department of Defense to make some ​changes in their agreement.

"We ⁠have been working ⁠with the DoW (Department of War) to ⁠make ‌some additions in our agreement to make ⁠our principles very clear," Altman said ​in ‌a post on X.

Altman said ⁠one ​of the additions to the deal states that the Pentagon has ⁠affirmed OpenAI services will ​not be used by Department of War intelligence agencies (for example, the ⁠NSA). Any services to those agencies would require a follow-on modification to our contract.

Last week, ​the AI firm ⁠announced a deal to deploy ​technology in the Defense ‌Department's classified network.
