Before that she spent a decade at Meta, where she championed the company\u2019s pivot to video.<\/p>\n<p>Despite leaving her full-time position, Simo signaled she remains deeply invested in AI\u2019s potential to transform healthcare. She said she would continue contributing to OpenAI as an advisor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am really sad about this and very grateful for all Fidji has done for OpenAI, and even grateful for her friendship and who she is as a person,\u201d Altman wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all wish her the best for a speedy recovery.
