OpenAI Recruits Meta Executive for Strategic Initiatives

OpenAI has recruited Irina Kofman, a former Meta Platforms Inc. executive, to lead strategic initiatives, focusing on safety and preparedness. This move is part of OpenAI`s strategy to strengthen its leadership with experienced professionals from major tech companies. Kofman`s expertise in generative AI, gained during her time at Meta, is seen as valuable to OpenAI. This hiring trend is also evident in other AI startups like Anthropic, as they compete with tech giants like Google and Meta. While OpenAI is expanding its leadership team, it has also experienced some notable departures to competitors.
