Prominent artificial intelligence research organization OpenAI recently appointed recently retired US Army General and former National Security Agency (NSA) Director Paul M. Nakasone to its board of administration
Nakasone will join the newly announced Board Safety and Security Committee, which is to advise the OpenAI Board on critical safety and security matters and decisions.
Established after an exodus of senior OpenAI officials concerned about the company's perceived deprioritization of security-related matters, the new Safety and Security Committee is OpenAI's apparent effort to restore a reputation for security with an increasingly wary public.
AI security concerns are of the utmost importance, but OpenAI should not use them to overcome an appointment that seems poised to normalize the militarization of AI while swinging the ever-revolving door between defense and d 'intelligence and Big Tech.
The 'revolving door' strikes again
After a 38-year military career, including more than five years as head of the U.S. Army Cyber ​​Command, Nakasone's appointment to OpenAI after retirement and his move to the corporate sector mimics the ever military-industrial complex “revolving door” between senior defense or intelligence agency officials and private industry.
