OpenAI Hires Former Army Secretary Dan Driscoll as Senior Adviser for National Security Modernization
Read this in the Market Flux appOpenAI has recruited former U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll as its senior counselor for national security modernization, a newly created role focused on expanding AI adoption across U.S. and allied defense and security institutions, according to the Financial Times.
Driscoll, an Iraq War veteran and close ally of Vice President JD Vance, previously led efforts at the Pentagon to accelerate military technology adoption before resigning amid prolonged tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. In his new role at OpenAI, he will help the company's teams understand the operational needs of national security institutions and work with governments on modernizing how AI is deployed in defense contexts.
The hire underscores OpenAI's aggressive push into the defense sector. The company recently secured an agreement to deploy its AI models in classified Pentagon environments, following the collapse of negotiations between the military and rival AI firm Anthropic.
