She is expected to start in early December and will report to OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman.\n\nAccording to Fortune, Hazelbaker fills a role that had been vacant for nearly a year. Her work will involve collaborating with company leaders to promote public understanding of AI and strengthen trust in the company's mission. Brockman noted that her experience with global-scale technology will be vital as AI becomes more integrated into daily life.\n\nIn addition to her tenure at Uber, Hazelbaker previously held senior leadership positions at Google and Snap, as reported by Fortune.",
