OpenAI Taps Former US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll for National Security Role
The AI startup said Driscoll will advise leaders on national security and cybersecurity and work with government, industry and academic partners.
- On Monday, OpenAI appointed former Army Secretary Dan Driscoll as senior counselor for national security modernization, a newly created role focused on enhancing cybersecurity and artificial intelligence capabilities.
- Driscoll joins OpenAI following his resignation from the Pentagon earlier this year, which occurred after months of tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
- President Trump tasked Driscoll with diplomatic efforts in Moscow and Kyiv to help end the war in Ukraine, a rare assignment for an Army secretary that brought him prominence outside the Pentagon.
- "I'm joining OpenAI to help the United States and our allies put this technology to work responsibly, for the people who keep us safe," Driscoll said in a statement.
- He will engage with government, industry, and academic stakeholders to advance what OpenAI terms "democratic AI" while helping internal teams understand operational needs of national security organizations.
