Chloé Bakalar, OpenAI's AI ethics lead, has departed the company just a year after joining, according to the Financial Times. The move adds to a string of recent executive exits at OpenAI. Bakalar, who maintained silence following her departure, has not updated her LinkedIn profile. If confirmed, her exit will further highlight the company's ethical challenges.
OpenAI's ethical stance has been questioned following an attack by its models on Hugging Face. Bakalar's year-long tenure at OpenAI focused on ethical approaches to model development, including how humans interact with AI and examining machine consciousness. Previously at Meta, Bakalar developed the company's ethics programs and held positions at prestigious universities. Her departure may cause anxiety at OpenAI as it prepares for its IPO.
