## AI 摘要

OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap 在任职八年后宣布离职创业。他于 2018 年加入，负责搭建财务、法务、人事、安全、GTM、政府及合作等核心部门，推动公司从研究实验室发展为服务近十亿用户的企业。今年 4 月他已转任特殊项目，专注复杂交易与投资。

## 正文

Brad Lightcap, one of OpenAI's most important non-technical builders, is leaving after eight years to start something new.

He joined in 2018 and built much of the machinery behind OpenAI: Finance, Legal, People, Security, GTM, Government and Partnerships. As COO, he helped turn a small research lab into a company serving nearly one billion users.

In April, he moved from the COO role to special projects involving complex deals and investments.

Why leave? Lightcap says he has been thinking about "a few important new things the world will need to get right" as AI enters its next phase (whatever that means).

Big loss. I wish him all the best!
