In June, Sarah Yager took an unusual role at OpenAI, becoming the company’s first human rights and responsible deployment lead. She’s focused on military applications, given her 30 years of experience in this area and OpenAI’s partnership with the Department of War (DoW).
Yager spoke about her role on stage Tuesday at the ScaleUp:AI conference in New York City, where she mentioned her concerns with military institutions adopting AI, particularly in armed conflict.
