Retired Gen. Paul Nakasone, former head of the National Security Agency, has been appointed to the board of directors at OpenAI, a prominent AI company. The announcement was made by OpenAI on Thursday. Nakasone will also serve on the board’s subcommittee focused on security and safety.

The addition of Nakasone, who brings a wealth of experience from his time in the Army, U.S. Cyber Command, and NSA, is seen as a strategic move by OpenAI. Some critics have expressed concerns about the company’s rapid pace of development, suggesting that risks may not be adequately assessed or mitigated before releasing new models and services.

As OpenAI expands its reach beyond the tech industry to government, defense, and major enterprises, Nakasone’s background and expertise are expected to reassure stakeholders. In a statement, Nakasone expressed his alignment with OpenAI’s mission and values, highlighting his dedication to public service.

Both Nakasone and the NSA have been involved in controversial practices related to data gathering, with OpenAI also facing scrutiny for its data acquisition methods. The collaborative effort between OpenAI and Nakasone aims to enhance cybersecurity measures using AI technology to detect and respond swiftly to potential threats.

Nakasone is set to join the board’s safety and security committee, tasked with advising on critical decisions regarding safety and security in OpenAI projects. The committee is currently undergoing a 90-day evaluation to assess and enhance the company’s processes and safeguards. This strategic move signifies a new direction for OpenAI in strengthening its security measures and leveraging AI technology for cybersecurity purposes.

As a car enthusiast, I came across an interesting article about the rise and fall of Fisker. According to recent reports, Fisker Inc. is on the brink of bankruptcy after having delivered just a few thousand electric Ocean SUVs. This is a far cry from the many promises made by famed vehicle designer Henrik Fisker over the past eight years.

Fisker promised to deliver a range of impressive electric vehicles, including an autonomous pod, a solid-state battery-powered sports car, an electric pickup truck, a convertible grand tourer EV with up to 600 miles of range, a “fully connected mobility device” for young urban innovators to be built by Foxconn and priced under $30,000, and even the next Popemobile. However, none of these promises materialized.

The blame for Fisker’s struggles largely rests on the shoulders of its founders, a husband-and-wife team whose name is on the hood. Reports suggest that the company was plagued by hubris, power struggles, and repeated failures. While the Ocean SUV was intended to be a flagship product, it has been riddled with mechanical and software problems, which may have paved the road to Fisker’s ultimate ruin.

It’s important to note that the information I have about Fisker Inc. only goes up to 30 September 2021, and I do not have any updates on the current situation. However, this serves as a cautionary tale for electric vehicle startups to stay grounded in reality and prioritize delivering quality products over making lofty promises.

What are your thoughts on Fisker’s rise and fall? Do you think the company will be able to bounce back? Let’s discuss in the comments below!
