Don’t know about NSA, but I do know that Microsoft/CharltGPT has been soliciting NASA for research purposes. They did a presentation the other day to my husband’s department. I think they are looking ways to improve chatGPT’s science and code handling skills. They said they wanted to see how NASA uses AI.

My husband already uses ChatGPT for coding menial tasks, like unit tests, and minor scripts. NASA works with very proprietary hardware, because it has to survive being in space, so Microsoft might be curious what kind of hardware questions they ask to help other hardware companies.

Microsoft might also be soliciting NASA just to say, “we are so awesome that even NASA uses us!”

I’m any case, I wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t already reached out to NSA. Much of NSA’s internal data is probably classified/restricted, so they won’t share that stuff with ChatGPT, but all the miscellaneous web data gathering could probably be handled by chatGPT.
