Microsoft-backed (MSFT) OpenAI is contemplating a contract to deploy its artificial intelligence technology on the unclassified networks of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, news outlets reported Tuesday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman had initially said that the company was looking to deploy on all NATO classified networks, Reuters reported. However, a company spokesperson later clarified that Altman misspoke and the contract opportunity was for NATO's unclassified networks, according to the report.

Microsoft has invested billions into OpenAI.

OpenAI and NATO didn't immediately respond MT Newswires' requests for comment.
