OpenAI recently appointed Simo as a high-profile female executive, enhancing its leadership team. This comes after the departure of CTO Mira Murati, prompting the organization to adapt its structure. CEO Sam Altman emphasized that OpenAI is evolving into a multifaceted entity, operating as a research lab, a global product company, and an infrastructure organization. This shift marks a departure from their original plan to convert the nonprofit into a for-profit entity, signaling their ongoing commitment to ensuring that advances in AGI benefit everyone.
Altman described Simo as bringing "a rare blend of leadership, product and operational expertise" and expressed that her addition to the team makes him "even more optimistic about our future as we continue advancing toward becoming the superintelligence company."
As CEO of OpenAI, he will "continue to directly oversee success across all pillars," including Research, Compute, and Applications, while staying "closely involved with key company decisions."
