Tech Tuesday: Optics Don't Look Good

from Wisconsin's Midday News

ABC News Technology Reporter Mike Dobuski talks about how “the optics don't look good” according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in a post about his company's new deal with the Pentagon. That agreement centers around how generative artificial intelligence technology can be deployed in "classified environments." It all came together just hours after a deal with OpenAI’s competitor, Anthropic, fell apart over certain “red lines” that company had drawn around how AI could be used in military operations. Mike breaks it all down for you. Plus, Apple has released a new version of their midrange smartphone, called the iPhone 17e and that's not the only new gadget the company is cooking up this week.
