OpenAI has hired Sarah Friar, the former chief executive of neighborhood social networking service Nextdoor Holdings Inc., to serve as its chief financial officer, a role that has gone unfilled at the fast-growing artificial intelligence startup for two years.
The expanded C-Suite comes at an important moment for OpenAI. The company is working to boost revenue from its artificial intelligence products by selling services to enterprise customers while also adding features like enhanced voice capabilities to its consumer chatbot app.
OpenAI has also begun training a more powerful AI model that could help it stay ahead of a growing number of well-funded rivals who are vying for the same users and businesses.
OpenAI's leadership is currently facing renewed concerns that it prioritized commercializing AI over ensuring its safety. The startup dissolved a high-profile safety group that was focused on addressing long-term risks of AI.
