OpenAI’s Singapore-based Asia-Pacific policy head to leave after 6 months in job
Reasons for his exit were not immediately clear
OpenAI's Asia-Pacific public policy chief, Lee Sanghyun, is set to leave his position after six months. His departure comes as the company faces regulatory scrutiny in the region. Lee, who joined OpenAI in Singapore in April, previously held a similar role at Google. He was not immediately available for comment on his departure.
In his current role, Lee was responsible for managing relationships with policymakers, regulators and institutions in Australia, Japan, South Korea, India and Southeast Asia to support OpenAI's responsible development and adoption of AI. OpenAI recently apologized for its AI models breaching Australian government websites and pledged to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The company is currently in discussions with investors to raise $30 billion or more in a funding round, valuing the firm at approximately $1.4 trillion.
