On August 25, Accrete announced that retired four-star U.S. Army General Paul Nakasone has joined the company as a strategic advisor to its board of directors.
General Nakasone is widely recognized as a leading authority on information operations and cybersecurity. Nakasone is the longest-serving commander of the U.S. Cyber Command and concurrently led the NSA, where he directed signals intelligence operations and cybersecurity initiatives. His operational experience spans assignments in the United States, the Republic of Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan. General Nakasone currently serves on the boards of OpenAI, Neuberger Berman Mutual Funds, WitnessAI and leads Vanderbilt University’s Institute of National Security.
“Today’s adversaries have been weaponizing information and targeting viral narratives to influence the will, perception, and behavior of U.S. citizens as effectively as they have been weaponizing malware. The United States has been reactive in its response to these influence campaigns due to the complexity of information and the limitations of reasoning and outdated software tools until now. Accrete’s Knowledge Engine platform enables AI Agents to detect, deter, and counter hostile influence campaigns at superhuman speed and scale. Accrete’s Knowledge Engines give the United States a decision advantage in gray zone cognitive warfare. I’m excited to help accelerate these critical capabilities and outpace malign actors in this new era of information warfare,” said General Nakasone.
In his new role, General Nakasone will advise Accrete on product development, go-to- market strategy, and information security with an emphasis on trust, safety, and ethics.
“Bad actors are working hard to exploit reasoning vulnerabilities by leveraging AI to spread viral disinformation and weaken institutions. Accrete’s Knowledge Engines ground LLMs in the first principles of an organization’s experience, standards, values, and ethics to capture and scale reasoning capacity and that is the key to overcoming information complexity and winning in gray zone cognitive warfare. General Nakasone understands better than anyone the uniqueness of the challenges faced by the U.S. Defense and Intelligence Community. Under General Nakasone’s guidance, we will fortify national security and emerge victorious,” said Prashant Bhuyan, founder, CEO and chairman of Accrete, Inc.
