OpenAI has hired former Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to serve as a "senior counselor for national security modernization," the company announced Monday, according to The Hill's report.

The Hill's Julia Shapero wrote the report, which was published Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The report gives Driscoll's title as senior counselor for national security modernization, while its headline uses the broader term adviser to describe the position.

According to The Hill, Driscoll stepped down from his previous role in early September, before the hire was announced.

The Hill reported that the ChatGPT maker said Driscoll will advise the AI firm on how the technology can be used to boost national and cyber security. The advisory focus covers both areas, according to the report.

The Hill's account does not describe the terms of Driscoll's appointment, its length, or any compensation. Nor does it say whether he will hold any role beyond the advisory work the company outlined.

In brief, according to The Hill, OpenAI has added a former Army secretary to an advisory position focused on national and cyber security. The announcement came on Monday, and the report was published the following day.
