OpenAI hires ex-Army Secretary, gaining bipartisan reach just as midterms loom

OpenAI hires Dan Driscoll, the former civilian head of the US Army, as "Senior Counselor for National Security Modernization," likely to win government contracts and help shape AI rules for the military and intelligence agencies. Driscoll drove AI projects inside the Army, is a close ally of Vice President JD Vance, and yet maintains good relationships with both parties in Congress - which could prove valuable as midterms approach.
