Fidji Simo Steps Down as Head of OpenAI's AGI Division Due to Illness
Translated by a model; the original is in Russian.
Fidji Simo is moving from a full-time role to that of a part-time advisor at OpenAI. The reason is a neuroimmune condition that had previously already prompted her to take medical leave.
Fidji Simo, who led OpenAI's division focused on work toward AGI, is leaving that full-time position. She announced this on the social network X, clarifying that she is moving into a part-time advisory role.
The decision was preceded by Simo's April statement that she was taking several weeks of medical leave because of a neuroimmune condition. The leave was announced shortly after she had taken up her new responsibilities at the company.
Details about OpenAI's further plans for leadership of the AGI division and about Simo's successor in the post have not yet been disclosed.
