Driscoll will join OpenAI as senior counselor for national security and will "advise on how advanced AI can strengthen national and cybersecurity," according to a company statement.
Driscoll stepped down from his U.S. Army post in September following reports of tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
"I'm joining OpenAI to help the United States and our allies put this technology to work responsibly, for the people who keep us safe," Driscoll said in OpenAI's announcement.
"The people who serve deserve the very best tools we can put in their hands," he said, adding that AI can help process information and reduce paperwork.
