Ret. U.S. Army general and former National Security Agency (NSA) head Paul M. Nakasone is joining the board of directors of OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, and some left-leaning civil liberties advocates are concerned because Nakasone was appointed to his NSA position by former President Trump.

Before leaving the NSA, Nakasone wrote an op-ed advocating for the renewal of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). That key provision is what the U.S. government uses as an excuse to illegally spy on Americans without a warrant whenever they communicate with non-citizens in a foreign country.
