OpenAI has appointed a former top US cyberwarrior and intelligence official to its board of directors, saying he will help protect the ChatGPT maker from “increasingly sophisticated bad actors”.

Retired army general Paul Nakasone was the commander of US Cyber Command and the director of the National Security Agency before stepping down earlier this year.
