The power shift inside OpenAI
The Verge reports that Fidji Simo, the former CEO of Instacart, has joined OpenAI, where she is expected to oversee the majority of the company's approximately 3,000 employees. Investors and partners have described Simo as the kind of steady hand the company needs, with a clear mandate to transform the chaotic, unprofitable startup into a disciplined, publicly traded tech giant. Simo's background, including her experience at Facebook during its hyper-growth era, her role in Instacart's IPO, and her knowledge of the advertising industry, make her well-suited for the task of overseeing OpenAI's transition. Simo's arrival also underscores the power shift within OpenAI, as the company seeks to professionalize its operations and prepare for future growth, including the potential integration of advertising into its popular ChatGPT platform.
