Former Deputy Secretary of Defense at OpenAI. He will receive a special position

Driscoll, who resigned from the Pentagon after conflicts with Pete Hegseth, will work with OpenAI on initiatives related to democratic AI and national security. He aims to assist OpenAI employees in understanding the operational needs of global security institutions and collaborate with public and private sectors on AI applications for national security. Previously, Driscoll was responsible for modernizing military technology at the Pentagon. His resignation stemmed from concerns about military readiness and Hegseth's actions, which he believed hindered necessary reforms. Driscoll is also seen as a key figure in J.D. Vance's potential presidential campaign in 2028.
