OpenAI national security role goes to ex-US Army secretary
Former US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll will advise OpenAI and partners on putting artificial intelligence into national security, cybersecurity and defence work with the United States and its allies.
OpenAI created a senior counselor role for national security modernization and named former US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to fill it.
The job focuses on responsible AI use in national security, cybersecurity and defence, especially for the United States and its allies.
Driscoll will work with OpenAI leaders, governments, industry, academia and international partners on policy and strategy.
CEO Sam Altman backed the hire; Driscoll said he wants the technology used responsibly for people who keep the US and allies safe.
Driscoll was the 26th US Army secretary; he left after reported disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over leadership and modernization.
