OpenAI has announced the appointment of retired Army Gen. Paul Nakasone to its board of directors, citing his expertise in cybersecurity to help safeguard the company from evolving threats posed by malicious actors. Nakasone previously served as the commander of U.S. Cyber Command and the director of the National Security Agency.
The decision to bring Nakasone on board comes as OpenAI continues to rebuild its leadership team following a period of upheaval that led to changes in its board composition. Last year, the company underwent significant restructuring, which included the dismissal and subsequent reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman.
