Brad Lightcap, one of the most recognizable faces of OpenAI’s senior leadership team, is leaving the company to “start something new,” he announced on Tuesday, representing the latest in a string of executive departures at the ChatGPT maker.
Lightcap did not say what the new venture is, but said he’s “not going far,” and described it as involving “a few important new things the world will need to get right” as artificial intelligence becomes more powerful and capable.
