Chief technology officers (CTOs) from companies, including Palantir, Meta and OpenAI, are taking part-time roles in the U.S. Army Reserve.
In October, the U.S. Defense Department put out the call to top Silicon Valley talent to take high-ranking positions in the U.S. Army Reserve so they could periodically be tapped for short-term projects in areas like data and cybersecurity, The Wall Street Journal reported at the time.
Now, eight months later, Silicon Valley is reporting for duty.
The initial cohort of this program will include the CTOs of Meta and Palantir, Andrew Bosworth and Shyam Sankar, respectively, as originally reported by The Wall Street Journal. It will also include OpenAI executives Kevin Weil, chief product officer, and Bob McGrew, chief research officer.
