OpenAI is facing another senior leadership departure after revenue chief Denise Dresser announced she is leaving the company, according to the report.
Her exit comes days after the reported departure of AI ethics lead Chloé Bakalar, marking a significant leadership shake-up as the company continues its transition toward a primarily for-profit structure.
The report said Bakalar left OpenAI in July without a public announcement and has not been replaced, leaving the company without a dedicated ethics lead.
Her work focused on human-AI interaction and responsible development, areas that have gained greater attention as increasingly capable AI systems raise concerns about safety and accountability.
The departures come as OpenAI considers further corporate expansion and potentially going public.
Critics and industry observers have raised concerns that commercial pressures could weaken the company's earlier emphasis on AI safety and ethical development, adding to the debate over how leading AI companies should balance rapid growth with responsible deployment.
