Interesting: OpenAI has hired Thomas Lind, a former White House AI policy chief, to lead cyber and strategic risk on its national security team.

The Information reports that Lind joined this week after leading AI policy at the Office of the National Cyber Director.

His former office helped develop the government’s voluntary framework for reviewing advanced AI models before public release.

Remember: OpenAI also hired Dean Ball, who helped draft Trump’s AI Action Plan. Lind’s team is led by Sasha Baker, a former senior Biden Pentagon official.

OpenAI is building a team with direct experience of how Washington handles AI policy and national security. I assume they dont want to end in a situation similar to which Anthropic was with the US Government.
