ChatGPT Plus for veterans and servicemembers
Over 20,000 veterans and transitioning servicemembers have claimed a free year of ChatGPT Plus as OpenAI expands AI training and career support.Summary
OpenAI announced that more than 20,000 transitioning servicemembers and veterans have claimed a year of free ChatGPT Plus access since the offer began. The initiative was started by veterans working at OpenAI who understand the challenges of military-to-civilian transition. Beyond free access, OpenAI Academy and community partners have hosted over a dozen trainings for nearly 1,000 members of the military community, with seven more scheduled before year's end. Veterans are using ChatGPT to organize job searches, rehearse interviews, and explore new career paths. OpenAI Academy, in partnership with organizations like Veterans Forge, AI Collective Hampton Roads, and NPower, provides workshops where veterans, transitioning servicemembers, and military spouses learn to use AI tools together. Events in Reston, Virginia, and at the American Legion's national convention in Louisville, Kentucky, drew hundreds of participants. For those unable to attend in person, OpenAI offers online resources including a veterans collection and 100 chats for veterans. OpenAI thanked ID.me for helping verify access to the free-year offer and expressed gratitude to veterans for their service this Veterans Day.
