OpenAI's robotics head resigns over Pentagon deal. Caitlin Kalinowski, who led OpenAI's robotics team, stepped down Saturday over the company's agreement to deploy AI models within the Pentagon's classified network. Kalinowski cited concerns about surveillance without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization, stating the decision was about principle. The resignation marks another public relations challenge for CEO Sam Altman following subscriber cancellations after the Pentagon deal announcement. Kalinowski, who previously led Meta's AR glasses and Apple's product design efforts, expressed respect for Altman while explaining the departure reflected fundamental disagreements on AI deployment in national security applications. The move signals growing internal tension at OpenAI regarding ethical boundaries in defense contracts.
