Financial Times, CNBC and Semafor report that OpenAI has hired former US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll as senior counselor for national security modernization, a newly created role. OpenAI said he will focus on how artificial intelligence can strengthen US national security and help allies adopt advanced AI responsibly. Semafor reports that Driscoll resigned two months earlier after clashing with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and describes him as a Republican adviser close to the vice president. Semafor says the hire comes as many tech companies have been staffing up with Democrats ahead of the midterm elections.
