OpenAI's New CEO of Applications Strikes Hyper-Optimistic Tone in First Memo to Staff
Ex-Instacart CEO Fidji Simo sent a memo to staff Monday laying out her vision for how AI will change the world.
OpenAI’s incoming CEO of applications, Fidji Simo, sent her first note to staff on Monday, telling employees the tools they’re developing “will unlock more opportunities for more people than any other technology in history.” In the closing section, Simo writes that AI coaches “can be available throughout every day, leverage their full understanding of all aspects of your life to help support you, and bring your subconscious patterns to your consciousness.” That idea goes hand-in-hand with the rumored hardware device OpenAI is creating with famed designer Jony Ive, which the Wall Street Journal reported will be “fully aware of a user’s surroundings and life.” Altman hasn’t shied away from flat out saying the company hopes to build an AI similar to the movie Her, where a lonely man fresh out of a failed marriage turns to a virtual companion named Samantha.
