OpenAI's Head of Ethics Chloé Bakalar Leaves After Less Than a Year, FT Reports

OpenAI's head of ethics Chloé Bakalar has left the company less than a year after joining, the Financial Times reported August 10. Her exit continues a wave of high-profile departures from OpenAI's safety and ethics leadership, including safety systems lead Johannes Heidecke in July and former safety systems head Lilian Weng. Departing researchers have publicly attributed exits to a perceived deprioritization of safety amid rapid commercialization and frequent model releases.
