OpenAI cofounder and president Greg Brockman is moving into a new role, where he will lead the AI company’s product strategy, in addition to his supervision of OpenAI’s infrastructure buildout.
Brockman first began overseeing OpenAI products on an interim basis after Fidji Simo, the CEO of AGI deployment, went on medical leave. Now, the change is official, as per a report by Wired. The latest shake-up of OpenAI’s leadership is part of its ongoing effort to consolidate its product offerings.
“We’re consolidating our product efforts to execute with maximum focus toward the agentic future, to win across both consumer and enterprise,” Brockman was quoted as saying by Wired in an internal staff memo.
Over the past few months, OpenAI has come under increasing pressure from rivals such as Anthropic in the AI coding domain and Google’s consumer AI offerings. In a bid to catch up, OpenAI has shuttered several AI ‘side quests’ such as its Sora video generator and refocused efforts on a few key product areas, including ChatGPT, Codex, and its super app.
