Openi said At the end of Wednesday, the Fidji Simo, the Chief Executive of Instacart, hired to take on a new role from the business and operational teams of the artificial intelligence company.
In a blog post, Sam Altman, the Chief Executive of OpenAi, said that he would remain the management as head of the company. But Mrs Simo’s appointment as Chief Executive of requests would free him to concentrate on other parts of the organization, including research, computer and safety systems, he said.
“We have become a worldwide product company that serves hundreds of millions of users worldwide and grows very quickly,” Mr Altman said in the blog post. He added that OpenAi had also become an ‘infrastructure company’ that supplied artificial intelligence tools on a scale.
“Each of these is a huge effort that could be his own big company,” he wrote. “Attracting exceptional leaders is an important part of doing that good.”
Mrs Simo, member of the board of OpenAi, will supervise sales, marketing and finances. She will report to Mr Altman.
OpenAi, which ignited a rowing over AI with its chatgpt -chatbot, has grown quickly and juggled with several initiatives – sometimes without success. The San Francisco company has steadily published new AI models and products, including systems that can be done “rode. “In March, it completed a fundraising deal of $ 40 billionLed by the Japanese conglomerate Softbank, which appreciated $ 300 billion and made it one of the most valuable private companies in the world.
But OpenAi, which was set up as a non -profit, struggled take on a new business structure. As the commercial attraction of artificial intelligence has grown, the company had tried to remove itself from control by removing the non -profit. That supervised critics such as Elon Musk, an OpenAI founder who sued the company and accused a profit for AI safety. The lawyers -general of California and Delaware have also investigated the restructuring.
On Monday, OpenAi returned to the plan And said it would enable the non -profit organization to retain its hold on the company.
(The New York Times has sued OpenAi and his partner, Microsoft, accuse them of infringing copyright with regard to news content with regard to AI systems. OpenAi and Microsoft have denied those claims.)
In a statement at the end of Wednesday, Mrs. Simo said that OpenAi “has the potential to speed up human potential at a pace that has never been seen before and I am deeply ready to form these applications at the public interest.”
In a memo, she added to Instacart employees that she had a “passion for AI and in particular for the potential that it must heal” and that “the ability to lead such an important part of our collective future was a difficult chance to leave.”
Mrs Simo will remain in Instacart in the coming months, because the company calls a successor, a role that they believe would be fulfilled by a member of the Instacart management team. She also stays on the board of the company as chairman.
“Today’s announcement is not a reflection of any changes to our company or activities,” Instacart said in a statement.
