OpenAI said<\/a> late Wednesday that it hired Fidji Simo, the chief executive of Instacart, to take on a new role running the artificial intelligence company\u2019s business and operations teams.<\/p>\n

In a blog post, Sam Altman, OpenAI\u2019s chief executive, said he would remain in charge as the head of the company. But Ms. Simo\u2019s appointment as chief executive of applications would free him up to focus on other parts of the organization, including research, computing and safety systems, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have become a global product company serving hundreds of millions of users worldwide and growing very quickly,\u201d Mr. Altman said in the blog post. He added that OpenAI had also become an \u201cinfrastructure company\u201d that delivered artificial intelligence tools at scale.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach of these is a massive effort that could be its own large company,\u201d he wrote. \u201cBringing on exceptional leaders is a key part of doing that well.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ms. Simo, a member of OpenAI\u2019s board, will oversee sales, marketing and finance. She will report to Mr. Altman.<\/p>\n

OpenAI, which ignited a frenzy over A.I. with its ChatGPT chatbot, has grown rapidly and juggled multiple initiatives \u2014 sometimes unsuccessfully. The San Francisco company has steadily released new A.I. models and products, including systems that can \u201creason<\/a>.\u201d In March, it completed a $40 billion fund-raising deal<\/a>, led by the Japanese conglomerate SoftBank, that valued it at $300 billion and made it one of the most valuable private companies in the world.<\/p>\n
