Today, Retired U.S. Army General Paul M. Nakasone has joined our Board of Directors. A leading expert in cybersecurity, Nakasone's appointment reflects OpenAI's commitment to safety and security, and underscores the growing significance of cybersecurity as the impact of AI technology continues to grow.

As a first priority, Nakasone will join the Board's Safety and Security Committee, which is responsible for making recommendations to the full Board on critical safety and security decisions for all OpenAI projects and operations.

Whether this was influenced by Aschenbrenner's situational-awareness.ai or not, it's welcome to see OpenAI emphasizing the importance of security. Even with this appointment it's unclear how deeply OpenAI leadership / staff have internalized a security mindset.
