OpenAI Appoints Former U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to National Security Role
OpenAI has created a new position, Senior Counselor for National Security Modernization, and filled it with former U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll. In this role, Driscoll will advise OpenAI's leadership on integrating artificial intelligence into national security and cybersecurity frameworks while assisting U.S. allies in the responsible adoption of advanced AI technologies. The move aligns with CEO Sam Altman's vision of promoting 'democratic AI' to strengthen American technological leadership globally. Driscoll’s background includes military modernization efforts and high-level diplomatic engagements, which he will leverage to bridge the gap between OpenAI's technical capabilities—such as its Daybreak cyber resilience program—and the operational requirements of government and defense institutions.
