OpenAI’s AGI deployment chief Fidji Simo announced 7on 9day that she would step down from her executive role and move into an advisory position in order to focus on treatment and recovery from a chronic illness. She said she had been away on medical leave in 4month and is currently focusing on recovery.
Simo is said to have overseen application and deployment-related work at OpenAI. The company said it will scale back Simo’s role and continue supporting her in an advisory capacity.
Separately, news emerged that OpenAI safety chief Heidecke will leave the company after the leadership reshuffle. Heidecke’s departure was described as part of the organizational restructuring process.
The two personnel changes were announced within a relatively short period of each other. The company said Simo was reassigned because of her health and recovery, and it is also said that a leadership change in the safety organization is underway.
What has been disclosed so far is limited to the executive's personal health issue and a restructuring of leadership. Any additional personnel announcements or internal role changes can be confirmed later through the company's official notice.
