Former NSA chief Paul Nakasone has just joined the ranks of OpenAI. A way to keep an eye on ChatGPTand all the AI that will leave the company in the years to come?
The NSA is one of the many United States intelligence agencies that is relatively little known to the general public, and which was only discovered for many after the revelations of Edward Snowden. Since then, the whole world knows that it is she who takes care of electronic interceptions on behalf of the United States, and therefore constitutes an important link in the American secret services. Suffice it to say that the arrival of his former boss within OpenAI is a real signal of the company’s strategic interest.
The boss of the NSA in the ranks of OpenAI
OpenAI is clearly an asset up the sleeve of the United States in the great confrontation on the question of artificial intelligence which is currently being waged against China. Suffice it to say that it is necessary to keep an eye on the Californian firm… even to the point of sending a high-ranking intelligence officer there?
This is what we can say when we learn of the arrival in Microsoft’s partner company of the former boss of the NSA, Paul M. Nakasone, who led this agency from 2018 to February 2024. He is also a retired general in the United States Army.
Maintain control over dangerous technology?
A profile that is not very common among the geek engineers who populate the giants of Silicon Valley. But Paul Nakasone’s assignment gives us a clue to the mission he will have to carry out inside OpenAI. He is joining the team responsible for ensuring that the AI developed by the company does not one day become dangerous for humans.
An arrival which can be reassuring, knowing that this team had been emptied of its main members, generally quite critical, to be replaced by Sam Altman himself and a few lieutenants. It is therefore quite possible that the American government was aware of the dangers that certain very advanced AI could ultimately pose, and wanted to directly place a person in charge who could alert it in the event of problems. So, good news or bad news?
