Aug 30 (Reuters) – ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has named political veteran Chris Lehane as its vice president of global policy, the New York Times reported on Friday.
Lehane, who is a member of the executive team at OpenAI, was a former policy chief for Airbnb (ABNB.O) and a member of the Clinton White House.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The appointment comes as Apple (AAPL.O) and chip giant Nvidia (NVDA.O) are reportedly in talks to invest in OpenAI as part of a new fundraising round that could value the Microsoft (MSFT.O) -backed startup above $100 billion.
