Kevin Weil, the former OpenAI chief product officer who was recently tasked with creating a up-to-date AI workspace for scientists, Prism, is leaving the company, WIRED confirmed. Weil was previously Instagram’s top chief product officer.
OpenAI is also discontinuing Prism fired as a web application in January this year to enable scientists to work with artificial intelligence. The company combines a team of about 10 people into the Codex Thibault Sottiaux team. An OpenAI spokesperson confirmed the changes and told WIRED that it is part of the company’s efforts to align its business and product strategies. OpenAI has broader ambitions to transform Codex, an AI coding app, into an “app for everything.”
