We are pleased to announce number 1 on BoardProspects Founder and CEO Mark Rogers' list of the “Top 10 Board Appointments of 2024 (so far).” OpenAI – Appointment of General Paul Nakasone (U.S. Army, Ret.) While Amazon’s appointment of Andrew Ng demonstrates the immense potential of AI, OpenAI’s appointment of General Paul Nakasone to its board underscores the widespread concern of the potential dangers posed by AI.  OpenAI, which is backed by Microsoft, is strongly in the lead in what has become a very competitive field to bring AI products to the consumer marketplace. However, the company is still recovering from an internal fiasco last year when its founder and CEO, Sam Altman, was fired by the board for allegedly providing inaccurate information about the safety processes that the company had in place to mitigate the risks associated with their AI products.  Although Altman was eventually rehired, there remains concern that the company could be chasing commercialization at the expense of safety. Enter Nakasone. He served as the commander of the U.S. Cyber Command and was former Director of the U.S. National Security Agency. Nakasone brings with him to the boardroom not only extraordinary cybersecurity credentials but also a recognized set of values and ethics which should convince the company’s stakeholders of an underlying commitment to safety. The complete list of the “Top 10 Board Appointments of 2024 (so far)” will be shared in the upcoming issue of Board Recruitment.
