OpenAI markets itself as working for humanity’s benefit. Yet its ties to U.S. intelligence agencies and military projects are deepening. As early as 2023, DARPA-funded collaborations were reported, and by 2025, AI is a cornerstone of cyberwarfare and information control. This is not conspiracy theory: the CIA and NSA have long used private tech firms as cover for surveillance. Amazon runs the CIA’s cloud. Microsoft sells massive cloud contracts to the Pentagon. Why should OpenAI be any different? When Sam Altman warns of 'AI scheming', it sounds like science fiction. But the real danger is far closer: AI already being used to filter what you see, what you say, and what you think. At Truthloop, we ask simple questions: - If AI becomes an arm of state intelligence, can you still call it *your* assistant? - If your conversations are logged and analyzed for 'national security', where is the line between help and surveillance? - Can an AI trained on government data ever be neutral? This isn’t about technology — it’s about power. And power rests, as always, with those who fear transparency the most.
