The arriving director of the Openai application, Fidji Simo, sent her first staff note on Monday, to the employees of the tools who develop “will” unlock more opportunities for more people than any other technology in history. “
“If it’s good and can give everyone more power than ever,” Simo wrote, hitting a hyperoptimistic tone, according to a copy of the notes viewed by Wired. “But I also realize that these possibilities will not appear magically on their own.”
Simo previously worked as an Instacart CEO. Earlier, she spent a decade in Meta, where he moved from being a product manager in the company’s information channel to the boss of the application product on Facebook. Over the past year, Simo has been a member of the OPENAI board. In her note, Simo said that she would start her role as the executive director of OPENAI “in a few weeks”. He reports directly to CEO of Altman herself.
The basic role of SIMO will be to manage business and operational teams Startup, according to Altman announcement About employment in May. She will be responsible for translating OpenAI research into profitable products, such as ChatgPT, API (whose programmers utilize to build their own tools on OpenAI technology) and tools of the company-and securing the high-profile business partnerships.
In the note, Simo presents his thinking about how AI will affect knowledge, health, inventive expression, economic freedom, time and support. It promotes several typical ideas that paint a pink picture of artificial intelligence: personalized AI tutors, better health data, more inventive expression possibilities, the benefits of automation and emotional support powered by AI (A hotly discussed topic).
“My business trainer Katia has transformed into my career and for years I was joking with her that everyone needed” Katia in his pocket ” – wrote Simo. “Personalized coaching was obviously a privilege reserved for several, but now thanks to chatgpt it can be available to many.”
The note sounds like a mission statement, not only for the application department, but also for the wider Openai plant: that they can build tools that seem as personal and necessary as a search engine or smartphone. In the SIMO note, he positions OpenAI products as a great corrector who knocks down the barriers of society in knowledge, income and emotional transparency – although it will do it, it will just be seen.
“AI can compress thousands of hours of learning in personalized observations provided in a simple language, at the pace that suits us, reacting to our specific level of understanding,” writes Simo. “This not only answers the questions – teaches us to ask better. And it helps us develop trust in areas that once felt opaque or intimidating, growing both in person and professionally.”
The note also indicates an OpenAI vision for emotional companions. In the final section, Simo writes that AI trainers “can be available all day, use the full understanding of all aspects of your life to help you support you and subconsciously introduce patterns to their consciousness.”
This idea goes hand in hand with gossip hardware devices OPENAI creates with the celebrated designer Jon Ive, who The Wall Street Journal Reported It will be “fully aware of the environment and life of the user.” Altman no avoided from flat out, saying that the company hopes to build artificial intelligence similar to a film Her, Where a lonely man freshly from a failed marriage turns to a virtual companion named Samantha. This, of course, introduced Altman into sizzling water, because critics notice that the film is a more cautious story than a business chance.
The note was very much on the brand for the director of Opeli: sanguine and based mainly on future promises. While Altman, the boss of Simo, is working on coordinating some more futuristic ideas such as Stargate And artificial general intelligence, SIMO will work on combining elaborate startup research on real tools for consumers.
“If AI can help people really understand themselves, it can be one of the biggest gifts that we could ever get,” writes Simo.
