OpenAI adds former NSA chief to its board

OpenAI on Thursday announced Paul Nakasone, former director of the National Security Agency, will join its board of directors.

Paul Nakasone, director general of the National Security Agency, testifies during a hearing of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about worldwide threats, on Capitol Hill in Washington, April 14, 2021. OpenAI is bolstering its board and its C-suite as its large language models gain importance across the tech sector and as competition rapidly emerges in the burgeoning generative artificial intelligence market. Friar will "lead a finance team that supports our mission by providing continued investment in our core research capabilities, and ensuring that we can scale to meet the needs of our growing customer base and the complex and global environment in which we are operating," OpenAI wrote in a blog post.
